In Baltimore there are now two teams of "heavy hitters" in the area of Parkinson's disease. 1. Johns Hopkins Hospital Outpatient Center. Contact person is Becky Dunlop, RN, BSN, She is the coordinator for the Information & Referral Service [no charge for information or referral]. She can be reached at 1-410-955-8795 -or if you are in Maryland but not in Baltimore - 1-888-400-2732 (this number will answer at the nearest Information & Referral Service to where the call is made from). Her e-mail is [log in to unmask] Fred Lenz, M.D . does the DBS surgery at Hopkins. 2. University of Maryland, Parkinson's Disease & Movement Disorder Dept. Try for Dr. Wm. Weiner. 1-410-328-9484. This department is expanding and will probably be the major PD clinic for the area relatively soon. Will Johnnston A.P.D.A.

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.
