Hi Mave, I’m pretty new to this myself. My boyfriend has had Parkinson’s for 11 years and although we’ve only been together for six months, for me, it’s a “Brave New World”.

This is what I have learned so far from what members have said to me; take it a day at a time, ask lots of questions, be kind to yourself and know that we all experience anxiety, you and him.
Once again, I’m all new to this but just some thoughts...
