I asked a general question, I wondered if any one had been put in the same position as me. This site is for people to give advice and support, for people who reach out. YOU offer none of that!

I promise I won't be the last, with your additude!

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member YOU are really NOT coming across as a very nice person! I DON'T want you to offer me ANYTHING, obviously YOU have NO empathy or understanding of my circumstances and what I'm still suffering from. DON'T BOTHER REPLYING, I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE OF YOUR ABUSE, IF I HEAR ANYMORE FROM YOU, I WILL REPORT YOU TO THE ADMINISTRATOR.
