I am not only a PD pt but still a working home care nurse and come into contact with many other PD pt's,I am always open and honest with them and disclose my PD because a lot of them are unable to get out without help and it gives them and myself someone who understands to vent to i have enjoyed and even cried with my PD pt's.many caregivers ask me how I can do my job knowing that I am facing what their loves are-I just tell them we all have something we are dealing with and I learn something new from all my patients and I hope I teach them something too

I went at the World Parkinson Congress in 2013 in Montreal it was held where I live, I met a lot of people with PD heard several testimonies, it was the best PD experience & event.

Good for you working in a facility and being vulnerable. My PD is " bad " but there are several here at the assisted living facility that are "BAD". I have resources through email this blog etc that they don't have. A staff member that can say " me too" would mean the world to them. The old saying that "love isn't love until you give it away" applies here. Love isn't love until you give your PD away. Bless you for being bigger than your PD.

Your story is so inspiring!! God bless you and I hope you get to keep on having your working experiences.
