[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Wow, how will I deal with a chronic neurological illness? My life just got turned upside down and what am I going to do? The person with Parkinson’s will develop a unique personality as will the spouse/care-partner which is reasonable human response to a predicament that is now become part of your existence.
Stages of Care Giving
Being Drafted – Stage 1
You just got the diagnosis and begin to question “Who are you”? The reality begins to happen your PD care recipient needs care and since the condition/disease progresses the advance stages will require more time, energy and assistance.
There is however the realization that an immediate crisis may not be tomorrow but one is on the horizon and it is when, not and if. Take this time to educated your-self on Parkinson’s disease, the symptoms and how it affects your love one.
The Rookie Stage 2
You start to question “Who am I”? Where do I fit on this team? It has been 6-18 months, or longer of taking care of a PD recipient and also the realization starts to occur this will probably be your existence for many years.
How do I train for this position: Here’s your entry into the caregiving world–welcome to the big leagues-this is your time to experiment, it’s easy to discover the things that work and doesn’t work.
During the period of this PD journey you will be exposed to a lot of professionals within the health care industry, grow and learn from them. In the early stages in developing your care giving personality I recommended you keep a journal.
The everyday Starter, Team player Stage 3
You have already been with this for some time anywhere from two to seven years or longer. Your own participation is most likely daily, if not otherwise continuous. You begin to ask yourself just how much more time can I deal with this degree of proper care.
Recognize your own right to able to actually feel on an emotional level off-balance. Absolve yourself with regard to not necessarily becoming perfect. Persist in generating regular breaks, time off and away from the day to day routine a priority.
The Grizzly Old Veteran Stage 4
Who am I at this point and just what worth and function do I play. You may begin to question the recommendations proposed by healthcare professionals; you’ve been “in the system:” long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
This is actually a genuine possibility the conventional communication practices are not feasible any longer, therefor adjust to make your own personal communication medium. Now is the time to start contemplating concerning your own long term future and exactly what it holds and what issues will need to be completed in order to prepare regarding for own your future life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
I joined this because my husband has MSA but he has many Parkinson symptoms and I can’t find support for it.
The site is for Parkinson’s and those with Parkinsonism symptoms like MSA as the symptoms are very similar. What specifically are you looking for? Will be happy to do some research.

How do you cope with a PD partner who doesn’t want to participate in their own care and gets aggravated at you when you remind/suggest/nag?
Fui diagnosticada hace 3 años con Parkinson. Con el tratamiento de mi neuróloga mejore significativamente en todos los aspectos, tanto físicos como emocionales. Me sentía completamente normal.. Este año he subido de peso considerablemente ( más de 20 kilos) y me cuesta más dormir y me duele el cuerpo en diferentes áreas . Estoy haciendo ejercicios y cami mando. Que otra cosa podría hacer?. Pienso que a través de ustedes puedo estar más informada para mejorar un poco mi condición.
soy Griselda Capera de Colombia el Parkinson que me detectaron es rígido necesito de la ayuda de otra persona para que me ayude a parar sentarme muchas veces me da mucho aburrimiento y no quisiera depender de otras personas siempre me pregunto si volveré a caminar por si sola como antes me da mucho depresión al sentirme así que debo hacer. Gracias

The caregiver has a great job to do. First,the caregiver should give a sense of hope to the patient ( it not the end of the world). Second, the caregiver should have a sense of hope to avoid being psychological burnout.
Agreed, Very well said. the Caregiver is the most important part of this journey and if they go down the whole system goes down.

I think you are asking what does MSA mean, Multiple Systems Atrophy
