Parkinson’s and Dementia

I’ve been reading many of your posts. I was shocked to realize that I was not sympathetic. I wanted to shout at everyone, "what’s your problem?" You are articulate and still have your brain if not your body. My poor shell of a husband has PD and now dementia. Barely says anything and only seems to get a break when asleep.

Of course, I do understand I am being completely insensitive. But what I would give just to be able to have a conversation with him the way you people are doing.

Sorry x

  1. Hi Carol, I hear you and my heart goes out to you <3 Feeling frustrated is normal when it seems like others have something that we don't. It can be an especially difficult feeling to cope with. I'm really glad you feel comfortable venting here - that's what we are here for. Thank you for keeping the community a safe space for others to share a range of experiences with PD. - Lauren (Team Member)
