The Completely Pointless Thread

I have to go four hours north to make some decisions for my dad who may or may not have Parkinsons. It sucks being a grown up.

Safe journey.
My mother has Parkinson's, it affects her right side very badly at present. The dreadful thing with Parkinson's is it mimics other conditions so can get misdiagnosed. My mother-in-law was thought to have Parkinson's until she was tested (I questioned it because it didn't fit my mother's symptoms). She had a rare form of Dementia Lobies Bodies (I think it was called).

I hope the right thing gets arranged for your father, the treatments avialable are so much better than the old fashioned Dopamine treatments. He must keep busy and exercise that is the only way to combat it, even if it all seems too much effort, he must do it, or the muscles will stiffen beyond help.
Good Luck
