Hello @tower, and welcome to the PD support group on Mayo Connect. I appreciate you reaching out on behalf of your husband to get information, as well as encouragement, as you journey with your husband through the maze of Parkinsonian symptoms. It can be a confusing journey, and sharing the journey with others is important.

From your two posts, it appears that his symptoms are increasing. Share, as you are comfortable doing so, a little about what symptoms led to this diagnosis and which symptoms are the most bothersome to him now. For example, when I was first diagnosed, I had balance problems, one-sided weakness, foot dragging, and a very soft voice.

Have any medications or physical therapies been helpful to him?

Due to the increase in his symptoms and the fact that he started taking Carpidopa-Levodopa Aug 28,2024 it's hard for me to say if threse meds are helping. He goes to physical theraphy once a week and he feels better after doing the exercises. I want to know once the neck drop occurs will he every be able to lift his head up again?
