Hi! There are 65 professional articles and about 750 old questions and discussions on this site, a good place to start. Click on Care Topics on the top right of the screen, then on P for Parkinsons. Of course your own question should give you some good information, but it may be easier for you to get worded up with the articles etc. Best wishes for a difficult time ahead, love Margaret
