My dad (69) was diagnosed with early stages Parkinsons, yesterday.
He's had a tremor in his jaw and a few other issues for around 18 months, but as he also has fibromyalgia and was taking lyrica, we put his symptoms down to lyrica (side effects; slurred speech, slowness of movement, poor balance etc).

Anyway, several people have told me it's possible to live a good life with the meds out there and to be really positive. That's our best line of attack, and also making sure we don't surround ourselves with negative people. Nothing worse than other people who drag you down with their nonsense. Can anyone offer any advice? Cheery thoughts? Best things to do next?
