Hi Emma, I saw a neurologist when my big toe started sticking up and rubbing against my shoe. With a friendly smile, he told me it was called "a hurray toe" i.e. it stood up to cheer! Not very nice, though if it's your toe....it hurt a lot!! A couple of years later l saw a different neurologist. After 3 visits, he diagnosed PD. BAM!! My world fell apart...13 months after diagnosis, l am still reeling. Especially as my mum and sister in law both died with PD. So thanks for your posts! Very supportive and much appreciated xxxxxx Sarah
Oh my! It's such a shock, even if you have an idea that something isn't quite right. It takes time to adjust. I'm 4 years in and still not really used to it. Love and hugs xx
