Does anyone have any info? > > Thank You, > Mya [log in to unmask] #1 - Something appears not to be quite right Mya.There should have some difference if the diagnose was rigth,the dosage,the rigth amount taken during all the day,if there are no interferences with other drugs(even the diet),etc.,etc.However,in part it may depend too of the kind of symptoms your father feels and the rapidity of the progress of the desease in his case. #2 - Of course a very stressful job,as much as very strong emotions,do affect persons with no PD and even more so for those with PD depending how intense and how long they last. It is my believe too that is always a good ideia to consult and listen two or more MD specialized in PD and check their conclusions.
