Mom got diagnosed with Parkinson
Hi guys, probably one the thousand posts here about a parent being diagnosed. Sadly, my mom who's 64 years old got diagnosed with Parkinson's a week ago. She had the tremor in her hand + her left shoulder doesnt move correctly when walking. I had a sleepless night over this, as I heard this news yesterday. I have, no idea what will happen from now on.. The problem is that we live in different continents, so it makes me stress out so much. Does anyone have any tips or have dealt with this similarly?
I'm just so afraid that her health will deteriorate without me being there for her. I'm now thinking of finishing master degree the coming year asap, and then go see her and be with her more often (maybe move to the same country). I'm not sure if I'm overreacting, but I'm so afraid of losing her.
My mom says she's fine, doctor/neurologist told her to exercise, eat healthy and take some meds. My mom always acts a bit though so she told me that some exercise and healthy habits will help her and that it ain't so bad. I can't help it but to be super worried. How did you guys deal with this? Is there anything I should know dealing this ?
Thank you a lot !
