Hi everyone, I'm a newcomer to this list. My name is Sandie Robert, Iive on the North Wales coast in Great Britian. I was diagnosed as having P.D.when I was 35, 8 years ago, it took them 2years to decide it wasn't stress I was suffering from. I was sent to one neurologist who was very abrupt and unsympathetic, so I asked to be referred to someone else. He was much better. Then I moved to wales and my new neuroligest was really a geretrician who is very interested in Parkinsons Disease and allows me to to say what I think should be done with my medication. I remarried last year to Bob who looks after me really well. I have a son of 13 who has F.G. syndrome (I'm on their listserv.) A daughter of 20 who's getting married in 3 weeks time, and a son of 22. Do any of you suffer from pain in their joints? I used to have a lot of pain before I was diagnose but for a long time I have been pain free, but now I get pain if I sit still for too long and pain if I move around too much. The Drs sugested 4 hourly pain killers! must put Luke to bed Sandie Roberts.
