Parkinson rant (sorry in advance)
My dad was diagnosed with PD 4 yrs ago. An accident led to the discovery of this, there were tremors on the right hand after covid which he ignored.
Initially the tremors were on the right side and now a few months back they are seen on the left side too.
They don't exercise, have stooped posture leaning towards one side, are reluctant to go to the doctor (to adjust Cardopa/levdopa or basic checkup atleast)
I feel so helpless, i stay in India and currently where we are based there is no PD focussed physio or any acticr support group (I'm not sure even if there was one he would have agreed)
I don't know how others are coping with this disease affecting their parent.
This disease is cruel and I pray and hope there comes a time where this disease can be reversed with pills etc.
No one should go through this.
Thanks for reading and sorry again for the rant.
