My mother Joyce (69, diagnosed with PD 2/97, then with striatonigral degeneration 9/98) has a very progressive head slump. (She hasn't goteen back the MRI results of her spine.) She was visiting me about 2 weeks ago, and her neck is bending her head down, and slightly off center. She missed physical therapy for 2 weeks around the holidays. When she returned, they immediately noticed that she has gotten considerable worse (she says she's much worse than she was 2 weeks ago). Luckily, they have increased her physical therapy to 3x/wk, and she got a manipulation today from an osteopath -- she said he felt good and that she's a bit straighter already. Does anyone else have such a rapid head slumping problem? Is there anything that helps that one can do at home? Thanks. Debbie White [log in to unmask]
