Dear Robert,

I am so sorry to hear that your girlfriend passed away, though I do not have PD, my dad does, I am 35 and lost my boyfriend years ago and the pain is still very deep.
I am happy to hear you are working part time, are you on any medication for the Parkinson's. My dad has his first neuro. appt. today, though his dr. diagnosed him last year, he has not taken any meds.
If you EVER feel lonely or need someone to talk to, feel free to e-mail me, going through a disease alone is not easy. I would like to have a few words with that sister of yours who does not seem to be very understanding. I do everything for my father, I know he needs extra support and I took the day off of work to go to the doctor with him today. And I live in another state.

If you ever need to talk-here is my e-mail address:
