Dear Alli: My inclination would be to say no- If at all possible get a second
opinion
about everything going on.
I would highly recommend you encourage him to talk about how he feels,and
don't let the "mask" keep him from smiling! Even facial exercises might help,
but
keep his moral up. If he's not on med. now, let him know there are very
effective
(and many) meds possible, with "miraculous" feeling results to them- so don't
let
depression be hiding and lurking inside of him- encourage him to keep active
and
look forward to tomorrow- it is full of beautiful things- even if he can't see
them right
now.
I say all this because I'm a CG for my husband(69) and we've been through
the
gammit of experience the past twelve years- I hope you will feel like
researching
medications yourself because with PD the more YOU know the better- your
fixing
to embark on a real learning experience - There's lots of research sources
from the
list available ....keep in mind we are all here with you!
