Are they even medicating her for her PD? She may need more and varied meds. Good luck. LEE OSLUND wrote: > My New Friends, > My Grandmother has recently been diagnosed as suffering from Parkinson's. Until about two months ago she was living independently, with a bit of tremor, but not enough to cause too many problems. Over the past two months she has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. She can no longer communicate, care for herself, nor does she seem to recognize even close relatives. The doctors have ruled out stroke, and currently she is in a nursing hospital which seems to be geared more toward waiting for her to die than to rehabilitate. We are really new to this, and don't really know what to expect. Can anyone give us a heads up as to what may be ahead? I know there aren't "medico's" on the list, but often you can get a more direct response from someone who has suffered from the disorder than you can from someone who treats it.
