Tips for staying at home with Parkinson's

We know that lockdown has been particularly tough on people with Parkinson's. What can we do in the home to try and cope as well as we can during these difficult times?

Annette, who has had Parkinson's for nearly ten years and lives alone in Brighton, has some top tips.

Thanks for your inspiration. As a patient diagnosed seven years ago, I feel frustrated that I have to live with this for the rest of my life. Your positive attitude gives me hope. God bless us.

Annette, you doing really good. Also good to have and love the pet. I have pd since last 6/7 years and I find sometimes that if you sit at home the symptoms are more. Like when you are off the medicine if you are at home you are held up. Activity is the key to move on in Parkinson's, but ofcourse you can't remain physically active 24*7. Good luck to you. We sailing in the same boat.

My friend was diagnosed with PD last March. She also has vasculitis which effects her feet and legs.Recently her feet have been too sore to wear shoes. This makes walking outside impossible which my friend finds very hard.

Most cats run the house, I got diagnosed two days ago, ehh, had a doctor about 8yrs ago told me he thought it, so wasn't a big surprise but nonetheless not the greatest news.
