The comment wasn't just aimed at you but that did make me laugh 

I'm glad it made someone laugh, pity about she of the pearl-clutcher brigade !

It completely different when you live with it.

No one doubts the your experience but surely this is not an illness with predictable symptoms / causes/ or progression ?

My mother has parkinsons and the symptoms between patients varies , hallucinations , depression , obsessions , physical and mental consequences . And as a result many patients react very differently to medication and it takes a long time to get them right , if ever at all unfortunately.

Sorry to hear that Jan, Depression alone is terrible.

[Jan]

It is very hard she screams with the pain sometimes and the medication seems to make her worse . It is a horrible illness.

Is the hallucinations due to the medication Jan?

[susan]

Jan it is so hard for you seeing your Mum with this illness

[Jan]

Is the hallucinations due to the medication Jan?

No it can be because of the illness. They describe if as taking your brain cells and just shaking them all up .

Symptoms come and go and it’s the pain my mother finds the hardest . Like neuropathic pain and then the drugs they prescribe have side affects she can’t tolerate.

She is not at a later stage yet but it does get progressively worse and my parents struggle on and are stubborn to the extreme and refuse to move .

But we all have problems in our life we just have to get on with it . No snowflakes in my family 😬

Sorry to hear about your mum but I wasn't arguing with anyone? However, there have to be predictable symptoms for it to be diagnosed. Causes, I assume are varied and progression would depend on early or late intervention.

If anyone doubts my experience, that's really their problem.
