My spouce has Parkinsons and im looking for a pen pal

Hi, my name is Debbie and my husband has Parkinsons Disease. He is only 55, I am 52. Im looking for a pen pal to share my worries with. If there are any spouses out there who are scared (as I am), and sad and worried, maybe we can buddy up and go through this together. I would love someone to talk to who is in the same place as I am. My husband is starting to have trouble swallowing. He says its mainly with dry foods like breads and such but with each symptom that pops up, I get so worried. My email address is ***@**** if anyone is interested in becoming friends.

Thanks : )
Debbie

Hi, I'm not a spouse of someone with pd but my grandmother has it and I am her daytime caregiver!

She has had it for around 11 years now. I have been her caregiver for just about 4 yrs now

What kind of medication is you husband taking to help?

I'd love to be pen pals with someone.  Someone I can talk to and vent!

When you put your email address on this website it blocks it from being seen!  Here's how you do it.  Put spaces in.

Feel free to email me anytime or message me on this site. I'm here all the time!
