My Father had Parkinson’s Disease many years ago, diagnosed in his late 40’s and succumbed in his early 60’s. Not much was known about the disease back then and was poorly managed. I now have 2 acquaintances who have been diagnosed with this affliction, medication has improved a lot and much more understood by the medical fraternity. Services however have not kept up with the demand. There should and must be more funding for this ever growing problem. Services are needed to support those that are suffering including family involved with care of their loved ones.
