“Further to the first diagnosis, I just did whatever I could, and continued doing the things that I was normally able to do, until I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s as well, which is a double whammy. And that really physically affected me more. I’ve forgotten the author’s name but these ideas about how you can get the brain to function, because it is so flexible, and such a mysterious organ in our body. So I am using the red light helmet for my Parkinson’s. It’s really helped me with my fine motor skills’ control, whereas before the helmet, my handwriting had deteriorated.”

“I’ve got such a fantastic support group, my GP, my neurologist, my nurse. They all talk to each other and they’ve been so supportive. I’ve never felt as though I’ve been neglected by any of them.”

“The worst part of it for me is the lack of social interaction. We went to the movies at least once a week. I was very involved in theatre. I can’t do that anymore. That’s really the worst part. But it doesn’t worry me anymore because every day is full of other things.”
