Hi everyone, My boyfriend who was diagnosed with Parkinson's 10 years ago has been in extensive therapy since August for issues seemingly unrelated to Parkinson's. These issues, as far as I am aware, are relatively minor when the whole picture is looked at. I say seemingly unrelated because I met him three years ago and therefore did not know him before he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. He is undergoing this therapy in another state and at this point in time is extremely stressed out which has me very concerned. The therapy is supposed to continue until the end of the year. I have asked my boyfriend to consult with his MD and neurologist and have suggested that his therapist might communicate with them also. I did this at the beginning of his therapy and he thought it was a good idea but nothing has been done. He is very stubborn and if I push too hard he will dig his heels in. I am very concerned about his therapist's methodology and motives and will be happy to expand on this if there is anyone out there who feels they may have some words of wisdom for me. I asked him several weeks ago if Parkinson's was ever discussed ( he has group as well as one-on-one therapy sessions) and his reply was "not much". Should I just let this ride out or what?
