A 30 year career as an NHS nurse didn’t help Jo Tosh to piece together the strange symptoms she started to experience as being the first signs that she was suffering with Parkinsons Disease.
But them why would she, she was only in her mid forties and Parkinson’s is an old persons disease isn’t it?
It was one of the many lessons Jo has learnt in the eight years since her diagnosis, and one of the reasons she has become a determined advocate for other Parkinsons sufferers and campaigner for better recognition of the disease and more to be done to find new treatments and, hopefully, eventually a cure.
Jo talks about the way Parkinson's has affected her, how she's learnt to live with the potentially crushing uncertainty of its progression and find not just joy and purpose but something altogether unexpected as well.
