I'm 55/5, & have taken my elderly father-in-law, who also has pd.. into my home 2 weeks ago. He is almost unable to communicate, & has some of the other usual pd problems. I now find that my pd symptoms are up. Although I love being able to make life better for him, I'm sure it is somewhat stressful. I know a lot of relaxation & coping techniques, & plan to begin to use them. I'd also enjoy hearing your ideas, & would appreciate the address of the caregivers list. I know speech aides has been a recent topic; if any of you have saved those posts, I'd appreciate receiving a copy of them. While I'm asking, I'd also appreciate copies of the posts re: various herbs & vitamins Thanks for the past & current help. The people on this list are a blessing in so many ways!
