My father was diagnosed with PD about five years ago (when he was 45). He is doing pretty good so far, but I think he could improve his attitude somewhat. And, I think he would feel a lot better if he ate better, exercised more, and slept more. I have tried to encourage him to do all these things, but he is a pretty stubborn person. The main thing I am concerned with is his weight loss. Over the last several years, he has gone from 200 to about 160. He has tried several of the high calorie drinks, but nothing seems to work. (He often forgets to drink the drinks, or he'll drink the drink but then won't be hungry for the next meal.) And, his weight has not stabilized; he continues to lose weight. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Leslie
