Hi all! My name is Julia and I might be the first family member/caregiver who’s introduced herself on here. Thanks for welcoming me to join. I’m 42 and my dad is 76 and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 9 years ago. He stopped working about 3 years ago and unfortunately doing so really stepped up his symptoms. And it was at that time that I became his primary caretaker, which has been really hard both for me and for him. I’d love to hear some tips for me from you all, about ways your loved ones support you that work great for you (and them)?
I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all!
Ps I follow a few of you on tik tok and I can’t tell you what a comfort finding this little community has been for me!
