Thank you, he has been on carbidopa levodopa for 6 months, aricept for 6 months and amantadine for 3 weeks.
He has lost 30 lbs. since December when first diagnosed so was taken off of aricept, that can cause weight loss. He got the shakes from carbidopa levodopa and amantadine.
I am retiring early to stay home with him. Perhaps it will help?
@susan8 I lived outside of Manchester, NH and go to the Boston area for most of my medical care. People up here think that the care in the big city hospitals is uncaring and impersonal but I find just the opposite to be true. My primary Boston hospital is Mass General but I have also had care at doctors associated with Brigham and Women's and Mount Auburn in Cambridge. The doctors I have seen are far more attentive than the doctors here are. Such an irony. I adore Mass General.
