    James Mortimer replied to the topic Caregiver fatigue in the forum A​ ​Forum​ ​for​ ​Parkinson's Disease ​Caregivers​ 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    This is my third go; both scrapped because it felt like I was just feeling sorry for myself.

    The detachment from reality; the totally alien world to the one you inhabited; the loss of your previous existence and easy companionship; the bone-weary tiredness that’s always with you; the sheer hell of watching someone suffer, about which you can do…[Read more]
