In 2015, a woman named Joy Milne claimed she could smell Parkinson's disease. She first noticed the smell after her husband’s musk changed.
After her husband was diagnosed with the disease, the pair attended a support group for individuals with Parkinson’s.
During the first support meeting she attended, she noticed everyone had the same musk as her husband.
She became convinced that the smell was linked to the disease so she reached out to a university professor.
To test Joy’s ability, Professor Perdita Barran from the university of Manchester gave her 12 T-shirts to smell.
6 of the shirts were worn by individuals with Parkinson’s and the other 6 were worn by healthy individuals.
Joy correctly identified the 6 shirts, but also chose one from the control group. 8 months later, that person was diagnosed with Parkinson's.

I am lost for words. A daft man with an old pram seemed an impossible dream. But we have done it. You have all bought into what I was trying to do. My only wish would be that my beloved June and Karen were here to see this.
Thank you each and everyone who has donated.

Any recommendations for cutlery and cups for patients with severe essential tremor that have been effective? I have tried a weighted one but still difficult, but may need one with a spout #OTcommunity#occupationaltherapy#livingaids
I’m *old* enough (not yet 40!) to remember when we had community hospital beds and intermediate care beds that did exactly this. That was my job. Who is taking the credit for this innovative idea? Please bring back specialist community rehab beds! But don’t package it as new! 🙄
Wholesale gas/oil is now below the price is was before Russia invaded the Ukraine.
So why aren't the big energy firms reflecting this?
Businesses are going to the wall.
Families are having to choose to eat or heat.
The Gov't urgently needs to intervene.
