Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's January 15. It Took around 10 months from symptoms starting to being diagnosed. Glyn has deteriorated rapidly since the diagnosis and it has been difficult for us as a newly married couple. There has been a lot of tears and negativity but I feel we are getting our heads around it all now. Glyn was in denial for months and all he wanted to do was shut himself away from the world. He was embarrassed about the shakes in his arms. Lost his confidence and was having counselling due to suicidal thoughts. We have had great support from the hospital consultant, Lynn the Parkinsons nurse, Parkinsons support group, OT,s, physiotherapists and speech therapist. 

Every hour, someone in the UK is told they have Parkinsons. Parkinsons UK totally depend on donations so please every pound helps.
