The Parkinson’s Foundation makes life better for people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. In everything we do, we build on the energy, experience and passion of our global Parkinson’s community.
Whatever you do DO NOT let the VA assign you a fiduciary with your Parkinson's because they send your name to the FBI and you are listed on the National Crime computer like a criminal so you will go to jail if you own a firearm.

Sadly I am running thru my divorce bc this problem with Parkinson’s with psychosis and he doesn’t want to get help. I had requested help to a lot of people, hospitals and doctors without success. It’s like there is nothing reachable or available and I ran thru same Barries over and over. the emotional roller coaster i got tired of. Sadly he is gonna stay alone bc no other family and friends he has what a joke. If he didn’t want to put himself first to get help I won’t put myself in any risk. I am out for good😢
I'm 7 years post diagnosis with PD and feel like crap. Exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam. Tired every day my legs are weak and horribly stiff. Don't have much of an appetite. Have a metric shit ton of anxiety. No ambition. My Sinemet doesn't seem to work any more. I feel apprehensive all day. S.O.S.
