My mother is 69. Her symptoms started with stiffness in her right arm and in her right leg. She thought she overworked it by painting. It persisted and would not go away. With time it got worse and we thought maybe she had a slight stroke, because of the gait and the way she would hold her arm. After seeing a chiropracter,her regular doctor and finally a neurologist she was diagnosed w/ PD. She will not talk about it or ever complain. We (her family) want to help and do the most we can, but never want to push her or make her uncomfortable. We all love her and want to make sure she is getting the best/most treatment to make her comfortable. She has had one doctor for so long she refuses to go to another. She just trys to go about everyday routines and not explore any options to help with PD symtoms. If you have any suggestions--I would love to hear them. Lori
