Thanks to Nancy for sharing the lessons she’s learned over the last 10 years! What’s the most impactful thing you’ve learned as the partner of someone with a Parkinson’s diagnosis?
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
