my mother has been bedridden for ten years with diagnosis of spinal
stenosis.
i' have pd, and/but i think i look, act just as my mother did in
her early
days of deterioration. my neur says her problem is very different
from mine.
ironically she was seen in his office 11 years ago so he has her
records. she
now lives in a nursing home in another state; i've written to
her m.d.
questioning whether a regimen of sinemet would be worth trying but
he poohs
me. i've also spoken with the nurse. my mother has a "jerky
leg", no muscle
tone,use, torticollis, difficulty swallowing. i suspect
she is beyond help
now, but i wonder if i have spinal stenosis too. mostly
i'm worried about the
future for my children.
