Hi Dev, We live in Calcutta and my husband, Prem Sharma, age 67 was diagnosed 11 years ago. He too is on syndopa, as well as entacom, donep and rasalect (1 mg). Hallucinations are indeed a side effect of syndopa and it is something that is hard to deal with for the patient as well as the family. We are fortunate to have a doctor who explains all this to us, and also keeps the dosage at the lowest possible. Prem is therefore usually able to laugh off the figures that he sees. My husband has benefited greatly from regular yoga (doing it for about 4 years now) as well as the treatment of an Ayurvedic physician here in Calcutta. In every patient of Parkinson's the progression of the disease is different. Now that I know what the symptoms of the illness are, I know that in my husband's case, they first appeared several years before his diagnosis. However, despite that, he is mobile, is able to bathe and dress himself etc. I attribute this partly to our careful observance of the treatment of the two doctors, as well as a very strict adherence to his medicine and meal schedule. Our Ayurvedic doctor, Dr. Pradyumna, is from the Kerala school. I do not know about Dr. Paneri, but this is the link to Dr. Pradyumna's website: * www.ayurvedacharya.com * Parkinson's is a very difficult disease to live with for the patient, as I have seen with my husband. As caregivers, we get exhausted and it is natural to expect some appreciation. However, I have also come to realise that so much of the limited energy of the patient is taken up with just dealing with day to day issues that if appreciation comes, that is a plus but it is not something that one can expect. No matter how much empathy one has, those of us who do not have the illness cannot possibl understand what it is actually like to live with it. Also, as you probably know, depression and apathy are a part of the symptoms of Parkinson's in some patients. I do hope you are seeing a good physician, experienced in this illness, for your father. VIMHANS in Lajpat Nagar deals with nerve problems and I am sure there are some experienced doctors there. I hope this has been of some help.
