BEING ill in France can really test your language skills, trying to describe where pain is and how you feel can be both exhausting and have potentially disastrous consequences.
The Telegraph covers the problems faced by Britons living overseas who have Parkinson’s considering there is no test for the illness and that patients will have to see a specialist who will look into their health history.
If language problems exist in such a situation then problems of diagnosis can occur and people can become extremely worried about what lies ahead.
The French-based L'Association France Parkinson provides details and information on how to gain support, including a directory of local contacts.
While Parkinson's UK also offers some advice for those living overseas, with a downloadbale .pdf titled Retiring Abroad.
