Hello, My first posting so I apologise if I transgress any rules/conventions. I'm do not have Parkinsons but my father-in-law does. I'm contributing to this forum on his behalf, and as such attempting to represent his views as best I can. While I'm sure will be interested in all the information particular issues that he will be interested in will be diet and coping with medication .Also sufferers in his Geographic area, South West France. My father-in-law is a UK citizen , living in France. He was mis-diagnosed as having had a stroke in the UK, and was prescribed drugs accordingly. About 18 months later he was correctly diagnosed by his French doctor, as a consequence of a brain-scan, having moved to France in the meantime. He was re-prescribed and has been treated under the French health service ever since. He has a lot of input on the French approach to treatment, with which has been very impressed. Moving between health services is now much easier within the EEC, his UK National Insurance contributions are valid against his French treatment.
