Kim, I believe you'll get a lot of help from the caring people on this list. It would help if you could supply some information about your grandmother. Important information includes the name(s) of all medications she takes; her age; how long she has been diagnosed with PD; any problems she experiences. With regard to appetite, is her appetite poor? Many people with PD experience decreased appetite, sometimes due to medications, or depression. If she is not eating well, it's important to determine the cause. Sometimes the physician can prescribe an antidepressant or other medication that could be helpful. I'll look forward to hearing more from you about your grandmother.
