If you did not catch it live, there was a moving Inside Out special, where comedy writer Paul Mayhew-Archer went in search of a cure for Parkinson’s, a condition he was diagnosed with five years ago. It can be seen again on iPlayer.
Paul lives locally and is very well known in Abingdon as he often comperes the Mayor of Abingdon’s quiz. The picture shows him stocking up on chocolate at the Tesco in Abingdon. Chocolate may help reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
I saw the programme and thought it was fascinating. He was very good in front of the camera as well as his talents behind the camera. Funny to watch him buying up Tesco’s supply of chocolate!
Great programme – amazing too to see what treatments are available to help manage the symptoms. Hopefully it will be very encouraging for others who are in the early stages of Parkinsons.
Paul, the continental chocolate at Aldi’s in Botley Road is much better than Tesco’s – and really good value.
