Dad's friend spotted odd leg movement on holiday before he was diagnosed with Parkinson's

A dad discovered his clumsiness was actually Parkinson’s disease after friends became concerned over his awkward body movements.

When he was seen dragging his right foot along the floor while on a walking trip in the Himalayas, Rob Stubbs’ pals highlighted it to him and then another friend noticed he was leaning to one side a lot.

The father-of-two decided to seek medical advice to be on the safe side and was shocked to learn, after being referred to a neurologist for further tests, that he had Parkinson’s, reports the Liverpool Echo.
