Meet Alison
Alison worked as a nurse in neurology and as a health visitor. In 2018, she started to experience stiffness that made it hard to brush her teeth and eventually developed a tremor.
"It took me about 3 months for me to get diagnosed. I remember the consultant gave me some leaflets, but I just threw them in the bin because I didn't want to know at that point."
Alison accessed the First Steps programme, run by Parkinson's UK.
"I was able to join the Parkinson's UK First Steps programme face to face which I really enjoyed. I found it really helpful after my diagnosis. My advice to someone who has just been diagnosed would be to go to First Steps and fit Parkinson's around your life, not the other way around!"
Alison has retired and started her own business since her diagnosis and has become involved in different areas of the Parkinson's community.
"For the first time, I am thinking more about my needs rather than being consumed by everyone else's needs. However, I still have some superwoman tendencies!"
Your donations make a difference
Last year, over 19,000 people called the Parkinson's UK Helpline and we were able to provide advice to help people, like Alison, through a difficult time. This is only possible because of the generosity of people like you.
- £17 can provide tailored and expert information and support to a person with Parkinson's for a whole month, through our Parkinson's Local Adviser service.
