He’s tried all kinds of pills but keeps saying they don’t work. So I’m grateful that he takes the one! I’m going to look into rasageline. Does your husband exercise? All I’ve read stresses how important it is. Jack has back problems so standing or walking very far is difficult. Therefore, not a lot of exercise. Thank you for your reply!😊

Hello @patjack2,

Yes, exercise is important, but I can understand your husband's reluctance to exercise if he has back problems. I would suggest that you ask his neurologist about a referral for physical therapy. A physical therapist, who is trained in treating Parkinson's patients, will be able to help him to come up with an exercise plan that will help his PD symptoms and not cause more back problems.

Has he seen a physical therapist for an Evalution yet?
