My friend's husband has Parkinson and she would really appreciate a phone number to speak to someone for advice.   He is on medication and the hospital is great.   Really I think she would just like to speak to someone who knows what it is like to live with this disease and just "offload".   She is not on the internet.

Thanks for any advice.

I saw a Facebook page a couple of days ago for a Parkinson's Disease Support Group, perhaps you could contact them on her behalf and hopefully they will be able to help even if she is not on the internet.

Thanks a lot for this.  I have just posted a query to them and will let you know how I get on.

Again appreciate you taking the time to reply.

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

Thanks Ray but has been suspended during the state of alarm.   But will try it again once we are back to normal.

There is also a group at Elche https://www.facebook.com/parkinsonelche and one at Novelda for those in-landers.

I have been in contact with both which appear well organised, however they are unable to cope fully with foreign nationals due to the language barriers.
