<p style=”text-align: center;”>I used to watch more TV but after a few months I got fed up with it especially as a lot of the programme’s I watched have been changed or scrapped. My husband who looks after me watches every sport there is. I have started to sew again. The programme’s I like to watch are antiques, and factual, how things are…[Read more]

When I was first diagnosed I read all the things about PD, articles, stories, blogs and all things PD but now I just read things that interest me, I am 82 and I don’t think that there will be a big change possibly in my lifetime and as progression is not known I do things to stay reasonably healthy and live each day as it comes.

I really like the PD community that are members of Parkinson News, I have joined other Parkinson groups but they have turned out to want money which is OK but not e mails every day, Some drive you mad with everything is OK and their life is marvellous because they take whatever at $€£100s the product can be anything, these sights are just ad…[Read more]

I permanently have bruises that I have no idea where they came from, my hands seem also to have bruises and cuts on them, I still do a lot of cooking and seem to bang them a lot.

My hair is beginning to come out must be the tablets as it’s never happened before, my hair has always been thick not very impressed.

Spain, Los Arenales del Sol, Near Alicante on the Costa Blanca, right by the sea.

I don’t have hair loss but my finger nails have stopped growing and have been left with nails down as far as they be, toe nails the same. Who knows what has caused it. Denise

I have already had the booster, I suffered a reaction and was extremely ill for two days and thought that if this was a reaction how bad Covid 19 must be and despite the reaction which took 5 days for me to get over I am so glad I had the booster and am feeling really well now. Denise

I find stress now makes me really not able to cope, I never had any trouble with stressful situations before, I worked in the travel business which at times is manic. Since Parkinson’s any stressful is awful. I listen to music and walk on the treadmill, if i can take my mind of the situation I eventually calm down Denise

No I haven’t had covid but I have a good friend who has had it, this was before being vaccinated, very very bad experience,

Doesn’t bother me at all, at least it signifies your body has something wrong with it and may be people will have more understanding.

Have used for eighteen months for anxiety and for sleep, it worked for me, I was very bad tempered was upsetting everyone. It took about three weeks to help. My husband and friends commented that I was not so uptight. I was sleeping better and some of the pain was in check. Not using it at the moment because I ran out but going to replenish and…[Read more]

Definitely take the booster. Nothing can be as bad as Covid 19.

Hi Ally,
I live in Spain and until I was diagnosed with Parkinsons’s I never really felt the heat like I do now, it must be the medication. The way I try to keep cool is use shutters on windows. have one of those personal square box fans, wear cotton as much as possible. Do cooking early or late when it’s cooler. We have ceiling fans but don’t…[Read more]

Yes I have very weird dreams that can be scary, and some times related to what I have been reading or watching. Have just started to take Mannitol so hope it does the same for me. Thank you.

Yes,have a light weight utensil that is a spoon at one end and a fork at the other end with a serated edge i find it helps a lot, I use a picker upper so I don’t lose my balance when I drop things
I have been reading a lot about Mannitol and it seems to work for some people so I am going to give it a try, I have ordered some from Amazon and it…[Read more]
