Unfortunately my wife's condition deteriorated very quickly. Exercise became impossible. She was chairbound very quickly after DX and needed hoisting. She passed in May. We did manage to reduce her weight by 8 stones using LCHF diet but did not do keto.@Oldvatr thanks very much. Have you come across the suggestion that exercise can help with Parkinsons? I read an article by a young woman who reckoned she had at least greatly delayed its progression by vigorous exercise biking.
@Oldvatr I'm so sorry.Unfortunately my wife's condition deteriorated very quickly. Exercise became impossible. She was chairbound very quickly after DX and needed hoisting. She passed in May. We did manage to reduce her weight by 8 stones using LCHF diet but did not do keto.

Thank you all for those kind thoughts. It is indeed a blow but was not unexpected. She had been in and out of hospital last year for bronchial troubles as a side effect of Parkinsons and COPD , and the end came quietly in the night while she slept. A blessing and her struggles are over now. At least she missed out going into Hospital with the risk of Covid making for a different ending. She is at peace now.
My thoughts are with you too. We managed to get good care from the council Adult Services, and they arranged for a lot of the aids to help us care for her to be loaned to us. They were not able to provide physio for mobility issues, but she had good support from her mental health team, It is not an easy path to go down for any family, and it makes my diabetes and stroke issues a walk in the park (which I am still able to do)@Oldvatr Sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. My OH, John, has Parkinsons and dementia so I know first hand how hard it is on a daily basis. On 15th Aug he fell and dislocated his shoulder and he spent a week in hospital and they wouldn't let him get out of bed because his walking is bad. I am now trying to get him on his feet again.
