One more question. How do I start a thread about Nourianz. This drug in combination with DOPA appeared to reset my husbands disease. He regained spatial abilities, better thinking and memory, functionality. The drug appears to have minimal effect in most people - a minor help during the off-period. I wonder if any others responded as my husband did. Our neurologists has asked colleagues and I asked the CVS Specialty Pharmacists but responses were it is a new drug and responses are the off-time improvement not the major changes.
Yes, a very good friend. But.. usually I am connected at the hip with my spouse. I saw mistakes that happen to my Dad and brother. I know what I have seen and really thought it could be handled differently. That being said my spouse can be challenging and very difficult.
Thanks @becsbuddy. Read the piece on dementia with Lewy bodies. How is it diagnosed and how is it differentiated from Parkinson's without biopsy or autopsy?
Yes, I have wonderful helpers at night but I stay up too late.
