I have some comments concerning the diahrrea. >> wheelchair bound and she cannot take agonists anymore because she is very sensitive to dyskinesias. She is now on Sinemet 25/100 and Comtan every 4 hours. << Causes: - Sinemet can cause diarrhea in some patients - Comtan can cause diarrhea in some patients - depending on your mothers age and general condition diarrhea can have several non-pd causes. Any severe diarrhea for longer than three to five days is a serious matter and should ALWAYS be examined by a physician!! Because it can cause serious loss of nutritions and dehydration!! Or it even can be an indication of (another) serious disease that needs to be treated. If the nurse is stating it is not diarrhea/not a problem, she should have an acceptable explanation/opinion of what the problem then is. If not you should somehow get the help of a(nother) physician for your mother, to take a serious look at the problem. Hans.
