Hello Jill Sorry to hear abt Dad. As caregiver for my wife Joyce who has had PD for 12 years I can tell you only that everyone is completely different as far as symptoms, progression, medications and mental attitude. Some suggestions I can offer to you and Dad would be to (A) seek the best movement disorder neurologist you can find, (B) make contact with your local Parkinson's Foundation to receive both the latest literature and (C) if Dad is willing, to join a Young (meaning newly diognosed) support group and finally (D) COME HERE OFTEN TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS related to PD. BTW, there is also a caregiver support list separate from this one. Contact: [log in to unmask] for more information good luck to you and Dad. Chuck email joyce44
