My mother (67, diagnosed less than one month ago with PD; cannot use hand, but no tremor, really; lost use of toes after breaking an ankle; slower speech; off balance) is now up to 25/100 plus 1/2 tablet 3x/day and it isn't doing anything. When she called her neuro about this and to say that she was feeling a bit more off balance the other day, the neuro said that the off balance wasn't from PD. This seems wrong to me; isn't off balance a symptom? I am afraid that she has something other than (worse than) PD (is this possibly what he could mean??) Thanks for any insight.
