Hello, This is Terry Crane. My 70 year old father, after three years of suffering has been diagnosed with a form of Parkinsons - which I think I got the name right - Diffuse Louie-body Disease. From my understanding, not only are the motor areas of the brain affected but the whole brain. Even though the prognoses is not good, my Mother and I are relieved - he had been diagnosed as having alzheimers. The switch in diagnoses has given us hope and the Sinemet has restored some of my Dad's reasoning ability and mobility. His increased mental ability has helped him fight the depression that he also suffers from. He was a high school math teacher and during the last three years he had lost all this ability as well the ability to take care of himself. I am interested in hearing from those who have experience with the disease and insight on caring for my Dad. Thank you. Terry Crane TCRANE4517@AOL . COM
