You must all realize when Brig was diagnosed, there was no Mirapex, just sinemet. Therefore, symmetrel (amantadine) or sinemet, was the only thing available, then came permax, etc..... Brig is now in Mercy hospital in end stages of Parkinson, unable to communicate, move, swallow, sodium levels beyond belief, on oxygen, and non responsive to me and my children. I am a mess, feel like I have been grieving for years, and now I don't know how to grieve, No one should have to suffer like this after 22 years, enough is enough. I pray God is merciful to him.
