Some suggestions as you struggle with your Dad's medical problems: Ask for help on this list, the people are great and very knowledgable Be careful of the quality of the medical advice you receive. If your dad has PD there is probably a medicine that will help his symptoms. If he does not respond to Sinemet, for example, he may have something else. Not all neurologists are good at helping patients with PD. A neurologist that is a Movement Disorders Specialist is your best bet. They are good at diagnosis and at getting the right medications for his particular problems and adjusting them over time. The web is full of information.
