Hi. My dad is 68, PD+ diagnosed 1992. He took a major turn for the
worse 3 weeks ago, mixing up dreaming & reality and just stopping
walking (from a very slow, but unassisted pace). He's been in the
hospital (NYU & Rusk rehab center) since then and is now taking 25/100
Sinamet x 4 plus 20 mg tacryn (Cognex) x 4. Also doing lots of
occupational & physical therapy. Result is he's in better shape than
he has been for over a year. (!) Walking for hours unassisted.
Fairly cheerful, Using the phone, using the bathroom. Dr says it
could be 2 months like this or it could be years. I figure this
information could be helpful, and would appreciate hearing from anyone
w/similar situations or questions.
