Hi, My name is Janet Helton. I'm new to this list. My father, soon to be 77, was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease about six months ago. Just recently, he went through a series of tests to rule out other possibilities. His MRI and EEG showed moderate atrophy of the brain, he has some difficulties with cognitive thinking and processing. He hasn't been able to take most of the medication usually prescribed for PD. Last week, his nuerologist recommended they keep his medication the same. With his cognitive problems most of the medications used would only make matters worse. I'm finding it very difficult to deal with this. Maybe it's the fear of the unknown. Can anyone provide me with some information about how they have dealt with this disease and maybe what to expect. I know every person is different. Thank you. -- Janet S. Helton, M.Ed.
