Nagma, has she had an MRI? I am not educated enough about parkinsons to give any advice, but I do know from what I have read, an MRI is a good idea to rule out anything else that may be going on. did he put her on medication? I am going through the same thing with my mother, but she was just "officially" diagnosed two months ago. the doctor put her on sinimet and her balance and "masked" expression and the excess saliva have definitely improved,. of course shes only been on it for two months, and i understand that the medication ceases to be as effective after a while. is that what happened to your mother or did the medication ever help? I am so sorry for what youre going through. I am still taking my mother to have an MRI next week just to be sure there is nothing else going on. paula ----- Original Message ----- From: "Al Barayeh Trading" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 7:36 AM Subject: DBS IN AND AROND BALTIMORE Can anyone help me? My mother was first diagnosed in 1993 in Baltimore, US. Back then her symptoms were tremors with masked like expressions. The neurologist asked her to walk spoke to her for max. 7 minutes and concluded that she had Parkinsons! She was put on Sinemet then. Today she is 72 years. Everything has been downhill since 1993. She now cannot walk, talk (when she does her speech is all garbelled). I don't know if she can comprehend what we are saying. She needs full time assistance/care. Can I do anything to change her situation. Is there anything that will help her? She was so full of life before this. My only regret being I didn't do enough for her when she could comprehend. I'd give anything to change her situation. Please, anyone, help. I LOVE MY MOM Nagma ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
