Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
My husband who is 78 was diagnosed with PSP abut a year ago. He sleeps or just rests most of the day and goes for PT twice a week which will be ending in 4 more sessions. I have no help and am absolutely exhausted and stressed out. He has heart issues as well. He is on carbidopa/levadopa, think I spelled that wrong sorry, which helps tremendously, even though it is not supposed to. He moves very slowly and uses a walker and his memory is not the greatest. What can I expect in the future? Will he be wheel chair bound eventually? Can't afford home health care and don't know what to do next.
TCM Traditional Chinese Medicine has an understanding of PD that provides some more insight into how PD develops, why those neurons die and why clumps form; as well as how to treat it. There are about fifteen or more people now who have completely reversed all 25 markers of PD and, in effect, became symptom-free. I attended the The National Parkinsons Summit where I met Harold S., fightingparkinsonsdrugfree. With Qigong (easy) exercises, the liver meridian is treated and the dopamine "faucet" is turned back on. There were other recovered people there who used acoustic therapy to accomplish the same thing.
My father was diagnosed with PD about 5 years ago. I would like some advice if anyone has some insight for me. He can not remember alot, which I know is normal, but his right side shaking is getting worse, alot. He can still shave and shower and go to the bathroom, but every thing else needs help. The only thing he can think of is money. This morning I was talking to him and he could not understand what I was saying then got really frigid and had a very scared look on his face. How would you handle this, I have a plan on how to, but wanted someone else's opinion.
Hi, I'm new on this site and am glad to have found it. My mother (age 73) has advanced and fast-progressing PD (symptomatic since 2004 and diagnosed in 2006).
msroadrunner61, yes, a person with PD is capable of inflicting physical pain on anyone within his/her space whether he/she is clear-headed and experiencing involuntary arm and/or leg movements, asleep, or in the midst of a hallucination.
marydell, my mother's PD-neurologist switched her from Valium (my mother's sleep-aid choice) to Klonopin, which he stated is better for someone with PD. My mother takes between 1 and 2 mg. per night and has the neurologist's approval to take more if needed. To the best of my understanding, 2 mg. is the most my mother has ever had to take to fall asleep and remain asleep. It's an anti-anxiety drug and may also be prescribed for daytime use, if needed. My mother says she now prefers it a lot over Valium.
My 84 year old Mother has PD. She lives alone in an elderly HUD apartment. Recently, she has reported having hallucinations each night and does not sleep. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to make her sleep at night? None of the PD drugs seem to be working.

What Goes Wrong in the Body and Brain to Cause Parkinson's
msroadrunner61, yes, a person with PD is capable of inflicting physical pain on anyone within his/her space whether he/she is clear-headed and experiencing involuntary arm and/or leg movements, asleep, or in the midst of a hallucination.

Best wishes to you both.
