Hi @scoz64 and welcome to the forums.
I can understand and sympathise with you on what you are going through in caring for your husband with PD.
I was full time carer for my husband until he passed away suddenly last year. Among some life threatening illnesses, including stage 4 cancer, he suffered from Parkinsons Disease.
PD is a disease which has so many unexpected, unknown and insidious side effects. Most people have no idea, unless they are living with it.
I do hope the Neurologist is able to help, but sadly there is little they can do with some of the side effects. Most of the time its just a matter of ever increasing medications.
You are so right in what you said .. it impacts the PD sufferers loved ones in a huge way. I hope you have access to support. Whether that be via loving family and friends or professional support. So important to look after yourself.
