Welcome to the community @Mayles1953 and I am sorry to hear you are finding it hard to come to terms with your diagnosis. Have you looked at the Parkinsons website? They also have a Helpline you could call on 0808 800 0303
@numptienick and @jaqisitt have talked about their diagnosis of Parkinsons recently and so I hope you can connect and chat.
