Hello Everyone

I have just joined your forum, as I was looking for a community I could share and read experiences from people in a similar situation as we are today. We are currently living in France, building our own house, and setting up our own businesses. Just before Christmas last year, my husband, who is nearly 45, finally went to the docs, having been feeling tired, unsteady and just not himself for quite some time.We had just put it down to overwork, stress etc. Various tests later, he has been diagnosed early stages Parkinsons, which has come as quite a shock, given his age. I need to now help him come to terms with what he has, keep him positive, and look at healthy eating, a healthy lifestyle, and learn as much as I can to help him cope with the symptoms, remain active, and able to work for as long as we can. We are constantly looking for new research being done, and new treatments etc, so any help, advice and experiences you all have will be very much appreciated.
Looking forward to getting to know you all, and sharing your thoughts and experiences.
