Hello Deb, Too bad your father is suffering(and you too) such serious symptoms.I am sorry I can 't be of much help in yours aflictions.Neverthless I will dare to say that it is necessary to be sure that your father suffer of PD,or another neuro or even not a neuro desease(most unlikely).One other point,still if correctly diagnosed,it is important that he gets the right medication (drugs) and the right prescription(dosages) etc,,There are deseases that are very difficult to deal with and I would recomend to consult and hear more than one specialist,if possible 3. I hope to hear from you in the future happier news. All the best, -- +----| Joao Paulo de Carvalho |------ + | [log in to unmask] | +--------| Salvador-Bahia-Brazil |------+
