>>My mother in law has had Parkinson's for 13 years.  She is 77.  Her
>>condition has worsened in the last two years.  She experiences extreme
>>hallucinations and she is having a lot of trouble disstinguishing reality
>>and hallucinations.  She has seen up to 30 people in the room with her at
>>a time and has become very frightened.  She has even called the police!
>>
>>Usually her mind is very sharp especially when she is not having these
>>hallucinations, but I think they are really becoming difficult to
>>handle.  She was taking Zofrin (sp?) for about a year.  This is a very
>>expensive anti-nausea drug.  It seemed to help, but in the last few
>>months it hasn't been doing anything so we took her off of it.
>>
>>She is a Parkinson's patient with all the classic symptons which are
>>quite severe.  We are managing the physical symptons pretty well, but
>>these hallucinations are causing us much grief.
>>
>>Has anyone experienced anything like this?  Can anyone give us some
>>treatment suggestions?  Our doctors are not offering any alternatives
>>right now and we are getting discouraged.  Any advice would be appreciated.
