Request from Vicky Turrell – She was the speaker at our meeting last September Can you help me? What is it like to have PD? I am an author and have written an autobiographical novel called ‘It’s not a boy!’ It is about a little girl growing up in a farming family. My next book is called ‘My mam and me.’ My mother developed Parkinson’s but she did not talk about her illness very much. What I want to know is – what it was like for her to have PD. Can anyone help me? It will be in complete confidence. I am interested to know how it feels to be diagnosed and how you get on with your life. What are your worst symptoms and what are the highlights in your day? Anything you can tell me will be a useful insight. If you feel that you can help please call me - Vicky Turrell on 01691 (Oswestry) 610673 Or let Fred Jones know so that he can contact me via e mail. Thank you.
