    How has Parkinson’s affected your relationship with your spouse?

    For some, after diagnosis, spouses suddenly become caregivers, roles are reversed, communication becomes difficult and the relationship is under stress. Physical intimacy is compromised or impossible and feelings of hurt, resentment and jealousy may arise. Or, in some cases, the challenges bring a couple closer together as they navigate the uncharted territory of PD as a team.

    What has this been like for you and your partner?
