    I find that the the mood or personality swings are the hardest. We don’t see the person that we know and love very often, not even once a day. This is one of the hardest parts.

    Hi  Beth, I am the caregiver for my husband and he was  diagnosed at 41 years of age and will turn 58 next month. It has been a long road and very challenging for sure. The best way to keep your body moving is to keep moving. Find something you like. Be social  maybe go to a seniors exercise group, let them know you have Parkinson’s. Seek out a Parkinson’s support group somewhere you can go to meet other with Parkinson’s. They will help with some of your questions and will have suggestions, and life experiences with PD. Always keep in mind that everyone doesn’t look the same with Parkinson’s . Take one day at a time.
