MY MOTHER AGE 72 WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSON'S 3 YEARS AGO. HER PROBLEM IS NO BALANCE. SHE TAKES SINEMET AND ELDYPRYL BUT HER BALANCE IS NO BETTER. THE M.D. EVEN TRIED PERMAX BUT, THAT DIDN'T HELP EITHER. SHE JUST HAD MORE TROUBLE WALKING. NOW THEY ARE WONDERING IF IT IS SUPRANUCLEAR PALSY. AT TIMES MY MOM DOESN'T LOOK DOWN WHEN SHE IS HELPED TO WALK BUT LOOKS UP. CURBS ARE VERY TROUBLESOME FOR HER. DOES ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SUPRANUCLEAR PALSY AND WHAT MEDICATIONS MIGHT BRING HER BALANCE BACK? ALL REPLYS AND INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON MUCH TOO LONG. THANK YOU.
