Boothroyd

Rotten news.

Best wishes to him.Hopefully he can manage it as best he can with the correct meds.

 

Sorry to hear that Meister.

 

Sad news, he was the manager when I started supporting the club. I guess he's the reason I'm still knocking about these forums nearly 20 years later!

My dad has it (although he got diagnosed at a similar time to having two strokes, so it's hard to know what's a result of Parkinson's & what's a result of the strokes).

Either way, it isn't a nice thing, although there seems to be a good bit of support out there for people living with it from a social perspective which is great.

 

Similar here, a TIA was the first indicator for us. I reckon a good 10 years prior to an official Parkinson's diagnosis but looking back on it a gradual decline is difficult to detect. Hillingdon's lifeline service was a godsend. Other services variable.
