Michelle, what a fabulous start, you are a true inspiration! I feel privileged that PD has brought us together. Wishing you all the luck in the world with your blog xxx
I am five years out from my initial diagnosis of YOPD and a month ago, had the diagnosis confirmed by a third neurologist, one who specializes in PD. I am struggling, grieving in circles as it is not a linear process for me. I live in a very rural area, 300 miles (one way) from my doctor…my job and co-workers have been very supportive but I fear losing friendships because this is not ever going to get better. I have no idea how you find the hope and courage and joy to not only go on but to thrive. I am beginning to think that I will never find peace with this diagnosis. Thank you for all your advocacy… your words reach far and help me feel a little less alone.
Thank you Michelle. I really do know how hard the days can be. Getting the right medication combination is so important. This time last year was very difficult for me on that front but we are accommodating it the best we can. There’s always reason to have hope 🌸 but I don’t say that lightly. I hope you are able to find your pathway through this and better days are coming for you. Keep talking to your friends that’s so important.
