[quote=Anonymous]Looking for advice. I suspect DH has early Parkinson’s. I’m pushing the medical appointments. Not sure if it’s denial, but he’s not aware/admitting that anything is wrong. I’m noticing falls (a loss of balance), stuttering and difficulty finding words, quick to anger, walking with a limp, cognitive decline. It’s already impacting his work and home life. Initial neurology assessments indicate there are concerns. We are now referred to additional specialists and testing, but appointments are several weeks out. What can I expect as we explore and reach diagnosis (and hopefully medication)? Some days are better than others. How did you keep it together? I find some days I have more patience and understanding, other days Im utterly overwhelmed. We also have young children, 3 under 8yo. Most or all domestic responsibilities are on me. Our family is aware, but not local. What was your experience? Help![/quote]
