Hello,
I just wanted to say welcome to the group. My spouse has had Parkinsons since 2013. It began with small handwriting and a fall at work. He was diagnosed with tremors . My brother is 67 yo in hospice with Stage 5 Parkinsons and Lewy Body Disease.My Dad died from complications from his Parkinsons in 2018. We received the official diagnosis 12 days after my Dad died. I cannot began to tell you all that has happened through the year's. He has Stage 4 + at this time. What did they say and what are you familiar with? Symptoms? I don't want to feel that you cannot share as it is very caring and supportive group. Please ask me anything that I have done with my family members. 🫂 🤗

Thank you for your response. My husband’s symptoms are relatively mild. He is taking carbidopa /levidopa and is going to the gym 3 times a week with a personal trainer. We have also purchased a senior-friendly treadmill. We’re also reading all information from Parkinson’s Foundation, Mayo and Michael J Fox. So we’re being very proactive and are preparing ourselves for a long journey. I will be seeking advice when I need it. Mcowen
