Hello! Thank-you so much to all who responded to my questions. My sister contacted the Ottawa Parkinson Society and they were an enormous help. That very day Dad's neurologist called his GP and they have decided to increase Dad's medication slightly to see what changes occur. I checked his medication and he is now taking 2 tablets (split into 4 doses through the day) of 100/25 endo levodopa and carbidopa. I must say Dad seemed more wakeful and on the ball this evening when I visited him in hospital. Maybe he was just having a good period or perhaps the extra 1/2 pill gave him a little boost already. Thanks for the encouragement for taking the bull by the horn and getting a second opinion. Dad was due for a re-check next week and I will insist he be transferred to the hospital in Ottawa so he can be assessed again. Ottawa, Ontario is a 2 hour drive from where we live and where the nearest Parkinson Clinic is. I have heard the term Parkinson's Plus mentioned. Can anyone tell me where I can find information about this? Kate MacGillivray [log in to unmask]
