Dirk, I don't think there is any good reason to expect that PD symptoms generally follow a neat progression over time. My wife died a little over a year ago at age 76 after 31 years of PD, and there were numerous changes in the kind of symptoms she exhibited, as well as changes in intensity of the same symptoms. For the last five years of her life, my wife was visited monthly by her neurologist at the nursing home where she resided, and I occasionally was in touch with him by phone between visits, with frequent changes or tweaks in her medications. Your neurologist is probably the best person to decide what is going on with your wife, but even the best ones find themselves puzzled by this awful malady. Best wishes. -Ken On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 4:33 PM, Dirk Kukler <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Last weekend I sent a letter to this esteemd group with a request for > feedback.
