Parkinson's disease

Subject index

Her partner was diagnosed with PD 18 months ago. So far he doesn’t need medication and they have told very few people about the diagnosis

Nerves & brain >> Parkinson's disease >> Carers >> Isabelle - Interview 42 >> Some but not all of the costs of care were covered by allowances.

Isabelle’s mother who had had PD for 12 years came to live with her in 2002. It was not always easy to care for her and for her own young children. After an admission to hospital they agreed to move her to a nearby nursing home. This has worked well for all of them.

Nerves & brain >> Parkinson's disease >> Over 12 years >> Alan - Interview 03 >> Alan has a chair-lift, a wet-room and has bought himself an automatic chair.

Diagnosed in 1992, Alan can’t walk until he has taken his morning medication. He has ballroom dancing lessons once a week which keeps him fit and mobile.
