i was 41 when i was told that i had parkinsons my job was in a office where my writing so small it was difficult to read my walking was slow but got to my destination eventually.my first tablets that i was prescribed made me gamble as did the second but they worked in making me walk better. now i’m on a levodopa the gambling as stopped but so as my walking i’m embarrassed to go out as my walking isjust a shuffle and freeze people just stare family dont realise how i feel inside they think of me as the strong minded person that nothing in life got me down,now i’mdown all the time
