Dear Loretta B.: In response to your question on physical therapy, I think that it will definitely help your husbands mobility. My dad was diagnosed five years ago and I try and get him to physical therapy as often as I = can. However, his insurance plan will unfortunately authorize only a set number of visits (i.e. twice weekly for two weeks or so) every = 6 months. = I've had problems trying to get additional authorization so I've tried = to do these exercises with him whenever I can. When I do, I definitely notice improvement. He also has had difficulty dressing himself over = the past several months or so. But when he gets the therapy, his condition definitely improves. = You are right in trying to help your husband by making this suggestion. Maybe you should ask him to reconsider. He'll thank you in the long run.= Good luck! Kathy = email: [log in to unmask]
