Looking for Young Onset Parkinson’s Folks

[Marta]

Hello, My name is Marta, 43 y. o., diagnosed 4 years ago. I’m married, have 3 kids, full time job. I would like to speak here with younger people with similar problems. My main simptom is hands tremor, not so noticible, but when I nervouse, mad, it’s became terrible. So now I think I have “social anxiety”, start to avoid some people or situation. Only my husband, sister and two friends know for my condition. Please write about your problems and solutions.                                             P. S. Sorry for my not so great english

If you are interested, I facilitate a young onset virtual support group sponsored by Johns Hopkins. It’s open to any YOPD…I can get you the information.

May I give this information to my son?  He was diagnosed about 6 years ago.  He is now 49.   He has 5 young children, but because of Parkinson’s, his wife just divorced him.  It’s been very sad, but we have faith that God is in control and a cure will be coming very soon…either that or lots of miracles!

Hello Lori, I’m just notice that some of similar support online meeting are public available on YouTube and I don’t like it. Is the same with your group?

[Lori DePorter]

No. Ours is a live zoom meeting. We have speakers and interact with each other.

[Lori DePorter]

It is an open group for YOPD

[Joanne]

Great.  Thank you & God bless you.

[Lori DePorter]
