Help for MS, Parkinson's, ALS and neurological conditions in New Zealand
From people who came through it
“If you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Back then it was dad's ALS moving fast. I wake up most days without that dread. It changes. It really does.”
summersoft02 · been through ms, parkinson's, als and neurological conditions“For anyone new to this: Two years ago, that was me. Parkinson's tremor in my right hand, every single day. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. Sending love.”
suresh.jay61 · been through ms, parkinson's, als and neurological conditions“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Heat pad, podcasts and low expetcations got me through the worst flares. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
keithchess00 · been through ms, parkinson's, als and neurological conditions“Dear you, I am not going to tell you it will be fine. Some days it is not fine. But you learn to make room for it. The injections, the appointments, the ramp. It becomes part of the furniture. Ask for help even when you do not want to. Especially then. You will find your people. I did.”
