I was diagnosed three years ago at 60, so not YOPD, but we still share the same affliction, and I went through the same shock and subsequent discovery that you describe. I appreciate your thought that we should not be victims nor martyrs. There is no battle to win or lose. What we have is a search for new ways to live.
Acceptance is a crucial pivotal point of learning to evolve with parkinson’s (lowercase p). You got this!
Thanks man ✊

Thank you for reading, Christian. Good luck with everything.
This really struck a chord Iain - five years ago I used to be baffled and even offended when I was offered a seat on the tube, now it’s a huge relief.
Thank you for reading, Rory.
Some great advice there. Thank you Nickie and thanks for reading.
