Pam, it's great that you're seeking support. Here are some tips and resources for caregivers of people with Parkinson's disease:

- Join a Support Group: Consider joining an online group like MyParkinsonsTeam or finding an in-person group to share experiences and feelings about caregiving.
- Seek Help: Communicate openly with friends and family about what you need. They often want to help but may not know how.
- Use Available Resources: Look into financial and social resources such as VA benefits, hospice, private caregivers, and support from friends and family.
- Talk to a Social Worker: They can help you find intermittent, part-time, or full-time home care options.
- Consider Counseling: If needed, ask your doctor for a referral to a mental health professional or psychotherapist.

Taking care of yourself is crucial for both you and your husband.

Would love to chat or text privately. Sometimes this site is not very user friendly. I don’t see your number for some reason. Here is my email. (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) My husband does everything slow and has a walker too. Taking him to my grandson’s Senior Soccer game tomorrow in Wheatland. I think that’s near you. He hasn’t been anywhere in over a year. Let’s see how this goes. Email and we can set up some conversations.

Oh man, us too. Go Niners!
My husband was diagnosed about 4 yrs ago. He’s 65 and I’m 62. He uses a walker and can barely dress himself. He’s not in pain but very slow. So many details to share but maybe we can talk privately. Here’s my phone number. Feel free to text or call. (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators). Would love to have someone to talk to and bounce things off of.
