Knowledge is power. I'm buzzing myself, as today I went to a conference in Liverpool for younger people with P.D. Having only ever met one other young onset PD person before today, it was so empowering to be with hundreds of other people in the same boat as myself, and I've hopefully made some useful contacts/friends. I was even allowed up on the stage when the conference was closing to address the people there, and tell them about the new group on Facebook.

Re: Parkinson's Disease.
To be honest when Dad had the illness he was in his mid 70's: to cut a long story very short.... we did not have a clue about this illness and just how debilitating it can be in the final stages: one min he was ok the next really bad, because of our then ignorance we even thought at times he was playing on it ( and so did the so called professionals) My advice for anyone with the illness ( if possible) and especially those people that are caring for them.... read all you can: I am also more than happy to be a sounding board if anyone needs it: We looked after Dad for many years at home, until in the end he had to go into hospital: The offer is there is anyone at any stage needs it:
