Hi everyone, I have 2 questions from Support Group members- There is a young gentleman in our support group who has been diagnosed approx. 5 years and he is 45. He has never taken a medication for Parkinson's -- He believes in vitamins and herbal therapy. His PD is interfereing in his daily life. He has applied for SS Disability and has been turned down on the basis that a doctor decided he "should" be taking meds. Do we not have a choice how we treat Parkinsons? He certainly has no medication side affects. Also, there is a Lady in our group who is elderly and her concern is that her left foot freezes - sometimes her right also. Her question is what are some of the ways people handle this. She also has trouble backing up and she would just like some input. Thankyou Bonnie R. 56/3
