My mom recently came home from a rehab center after being in and out of hospital since middle of November and even in a nursing home for several weeks. Her original reason for being hospitalized was a fall which shattered her shoulder. Anxiety has always been a probelm with my Mom but at this point it is beyond control and she almost never and I mean never sleeps. At the most she sleeps for an hour or two. We are at our wits end. She wrings her hands and bites her lip and we have begged the neorulogist and all the other physicians at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's in Chicago treating her to have some compassion for her and her caregivers with a prescription for something that would help with the anxiety and let her rest. My feeling is that if you were ananxious person before PD then you will be with it and more so. My mom was on Paxil and Prozac and is now on something that is experimental but is normally used for chemo patients as an anti-nausea drug. It is $20 a pill and I really don't see that is doing anything and am tired of my mom being a guinea pig. Any suggestions? [log in to unmask]
