Hi Barbara!
Thanks for your response. I was hoping that the
loss of taste was something temporal or something that could be treated with
medicines.

The loss of taste and smell are both
Parkinson's symptoms. In fact, if your
mom's physician is unaware
of how common it is for a Parkie to lose both of
those senses,
if
that was ME, I'd look for another doctor (a movement disorder specialist
would be the best for her, I believe.
Hmmm...(thinking) As a
matter of fact the senses of smell and taste are often
lost early on in
an individual's Parkinson's evolution.
