Wendy was left to face a Parkinson’s diagnosis alone.
Wendy’s Parkinson’s diagnosis 16 years ago left her feeling uncertain about the future. “No one checked how I was, or if I needed help,” she says. “I felt like I was facing a life-changing diagnosis on my own.” Wendy’s biggest challenge was getting a clear picture of what her Parkinson’s journey would look like, and what her treatment options were.
