Not sure where you Live but this is what we did as my wife was diagnosed 2016 with Parkinson’s Dystonia and we got on it asap.
1) call the US and Parkinson help line-I have the number and email but won’t let me post it so message me and I can get it to you.
2) talk with a PD support group, ask the monitor if this conversation journey to help and if you need help finding one message me and I will help
3) talk with your primary Dr they should direct you!
4) get family members and maybe your pastor involved just for talk sessions and be a team as Kari’s and I said “we are in this together” put the “WE” in our journey

Gary thank you so much for your encouragement. I’m very fortunate to be minutes from our son and soon will be living in a suite connected to his house. Our family is centered on God and find our strength in Him.
I just sometimes need that extra hug. I would appreciate any information you can provide. I live in Southern California.
