Updating Again On My Grandfather

Rupert, Idaho
July 9, 2020 7:19pm CST
Hey everyone, for those that wanted to keep updated...my Grandfather has been on medication for Parkinson's for a week or two. However, he had not been improving at all with what he was on. So today they went back to the doctor. He prescribed the same medication in a higher dose and more often, as well as something for dementia. I'm hoping that these will help him better.

I pray the new med levels will be helpful. This is going to be so very hard on your grandma.

It's not going to get a whole lot easier @MommyOfEli2013 A friend of mine, Gloria, dealt with her husband as he went through the stages of Parkinson's and she became so skinny that some of us thought she was anorexic, she was 70 when he passed away after years of suffering the disease, he was 75.
