Hello all again, Well it appears that it is time to sign off both the hyceph and parkinsn list since we have been told that Carmel does not have Parkinson"s Disease and neurologist yesterday explained that she does not have normal pressure hydrocephalus either. I took the films from the hospital(which showed hydrocephalus with all the ventricles except the 4th to be dilated with excess fluid) and the MRI more recently done, which show no hydrocephalus. He compaired the two sets of films and said they show the same thing- brain atrophy which in turn makes the ventricles look "enlarged" there is also evidence of multiple strokes, one fairly recent. So, everything they did at the hospital and evey diagnoses they gave us was wrong. Point blank Carm is 80 and she is having TIA's and there are no disease processes happening here. So she has lost her apartment, her independance, her privacy, indured the mental anguish of being told she would have to go to a nursing home for the rest of her life, by the hospital social worker. Her family has gone through alot also - because of these doctors and the insurance company probably dictating their actions. Thank you all for the assistance and guidance you have given us and I will keep you all in my prayers. Leslie
