I'm sending this to both Parkinson and Stroke forums to see if anyone in either/both circumstances has any experience. Cecily (80) has had PD for about 20 years and 2 years ago Aug 7 had a stroke. She has difficulty moving - uses a walker most of the time and a transporter wheel chair. Ever since the stroke communication has been very difficult - I am becoming the world's best expert with 20 Questions. She is on Sinemet, Comtan, Mirapex. Aspirin, Bumetanide, Dektol, Eldepryl and Tamoxifen ( had a lumpectomy about 4 yrs ago ), Vitamin C and multivitamins At an appointment with the neuro a week ago he suggested she take Vitamin E 800 units/day. I hope I'm not imagining things but she seems brighter - better communication - and a little steadier on her feet. Any comments, please. I've been on both these forums for a couple years ( longer on the PD ) - mostly lurking but throwing out an occasional comment and enjoying the give and take of all you marvelous people. There are days when, if it wasn't for the lift I get from you-all. I'd go totally ape. Love Bob Anibal
