Nagma, My brother has similar symptoms and is in a nursing home. His medications have not been changed for two years. I took him to a neurologist (PD one) and he increased the medications and also changed the time they were being taken. Also, we are feeding him (recently) 2400 calories of food hoping to fatten (strengthen) him. At the same time we are fighting with the Physical Therapist to give him more exercise. He has good days and bad days. We will take him back to see the PD Doctor June 27th. We hope to see a change in him. We will let all know.

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
