My mom has Parkinsonism. She is 69 very healthy, no way to treat or stop progression, losing her ability to speak or articulate her words. I know she's suffering being pretty sound minded and still running circles around me. Seems to get worse w stress and later in day tired.

I appreciate you sharing about your mom's Parkinsonism, @kell4042. If you would like to share more, I'd be interested in knowing how long ago she was diagnosed and what her first symptoms were. Has she had any speech therapy for the articulation problem?

Are they helping you discover which Parkinsonian condition you might have? In my case, it could be an add on case of Parkinson’s a long with Cerebellar Ataxia. I understand there are up to a dozen different subgroups/conditions that are Parkinsonian.
