I
would like to thank someone who reads my blog and left a comment the other day
regarding the connection between Gaucher disease and Parkinson's. It was
extremely thoughtful of you to think of me, and I very much appreciate you
sending the link to this very
interesting article. Here is the link should anyone else be interested in
reading about the Gaucher - Parkinson connection.
Sharing
information, good useful tips and a general sense of community support through the
internet has been extremely helpful to those who live in isolated areas, unable
to attend support groups. Unfortunately I fall into this category, which is
what prompted me in the beginning to write a daily blog, realising I couldn't
possibly be alone in this position, and that there must be others in similar circumstances,
unable to meet face to face with fellow sufferers.
What
ever disease a person is suffering from, along with their caregivers, family
and friends, support is of great importance. We all need a little help now and
then. The comforting feeling of knowing we are not alone is crucial, and it is
a boost to one's morale to be in touch with those who truly understand what you
are going through.
