My Parkinson's life is so confusing - this is not easy.

Cognitive issues, as you described, that result in memory or focus issues are very frustrating. I am glad to see that you take someone with you to appointments; that is wise! How long have you been experiencing these issues? Have you considered being evaluated by a neuropsychologist? Such an evaluation might provide information about medications or other therapies that could help you.

I saw a neurophyscologist last week. She said that it's an issue with executive function and she would talk to my neurologist about it. I see the neurologist next month.

The doctor that diagnosed me is a neurologist with 20 years experience, would that be a difference from a neuropsychologist? Just went to one of his web pages and do see this shown:
Subspecialties: Neurophysiology
As for taking someone with me, wife has decided that she did not feel I should be driving so she takes me to all appointments.
