Parkinson\u2019s disease not only affects a person but those around them. Although a person may not need paid carers to help them, many friends and family take on caring roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A carer is anyone who, without payment, provides help and support to a wife, husband, partner, son, daughter, parent, relative, friend or neighbour, who could not manage without their help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These people may also need support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NHS Lothian lists some of the different places where\u00a0help can be found across the region<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vocal<\/a>\u00a0is an organisation providing support for carers in Edinburgh and Midlothian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carers of East Lothian<\/a>\u00a0also serves that region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edinburgh council also lists other\u00a0Carer support and advice<\/a>, including\u00a0activities and support for carers, and contact with their\u00a0carer support team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parkinson\u2019s UK also has a very strong online community and forum<\/a> where you can take part in online discussions and seek answers to questions.<\/p>\n\n\n
