Being a Parkinson's Partner - 8 Things You Need to Know as a Spouse (or Close Partner)

Has your spouse or close partner been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease? Are you hoping to support your loved one, while also craving guidance and support for yourself? (*Pardon the echo, it clears up a few minutes in!*)
If your life partner gets diagnosed with Parkinson’s, you’re in for the ride, and if you don’t learn how to best face this diagnosis head-on together, your days and years moving forward will be much more challenging than they need to be.
In today's interview, we talk to Nancy Hovey, whose husband has Parkinson's, about the 8 things you should know if your life partner has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

    Thank you Nancy ,I hear you my husband was diagnoised two years ago but I am sure he has had it a lot longer….We live in a rural area and there isn’t much support…..I have educated myself……the first year getting regulated on the medication was really hard….the journey wasn’t easy …my husband and I were very open in talking about the disease….which was easy ….we both are active which is a must with exercise….being a must…….one day at a time…..I found…..is ….easier….thank you for saying do what’s best….change we have to make changes…..one day at a time…..

    Hi there, thank you for such a positive and informative video. care for my Dad with Parkinsons. I look forward to your info to download to help. My Dad is an amazing patient but very confused and hard to deal with. He's had it for 5 years. I just try not to get anxious and stressed which is very difficult. Thank you to Nancy xxx
