Episode #23: Tips from a Parkinson's Caregiver

[@jeancattoi2796]

Very informative from a caregivers point of view!

What an amazing lady ! And so calm and sweet !
Jessica and Brian, PwP without the tremor, could this be a topic for another time ? I don't have a tremor (yet) and a lot of the invisible symptoms and 24/7 tingling in my lower legs. I can not find very much about it. In my opinion it took so much longer to get a diagnosis than I hear from people with a tremor as one of the first symptoms. Thank you for another great episode !!

I just stumbled onto this. As real as it gets.
So far, for none of you, has it been the beast of 30+ years ago. They've come so far. My wife is 4 years diagnosed, and with light meds, good eating, and some exercise, she's really still really good. She just retired at 65, and I'll probably be soon behind.
My biggest fears are feeling guilty spending time on myself fishing, and holding my patience over the long haul.

Don't feel guilty - everyone needs to focus on themselves at some point. Especially caregivers!

[@luanndavis-jindela3223]

Great insights!

It would have been nice if all caregivers showed as much interest as this amazing lady.

I am so sorry, I didn’t think about that I will email you.

This had so little to do with the care giver feelings and emotions. Trust me when you get to late stage and years of making adjustments to make your partner comfortable all of the time. There is something to talk about and hear.
