Maybe this is the time of year for "lurker confessions". I have been a member of this list for some time, but have not introduced myself. My Dad has PD which is complicated by diabetes and heart disease. He lives in Alberta, and I'm in Nova Scotia, so I joined the list hoping I could understand his needs even though I wasn't physically close. Most recently there seems to be some concern that Dad is also developing Alzheimer's because he is growing confused about where he is and sometimes doesn't say what he means to say. I'm wondering if it could be the combination of drugs that he is taking that could be causing these symptoms. Has anyone experienced "mental confusion" while taking some of the drugs for PD? Any advice on what kind of questions I could be asking his doctor? -- Karen Wilder, I S Manager Phone: (902) 542-2201 Ext. 1437 Computer Centre, Acadia University Fax: (902) 542-4364 Wolfville NS B0P 1X0 net: [log in to unmask]
