Husband can no longer climb stairs with PD

Is the doctor your husband saw a neurologist? If not, I would certainly suggest seeing one.

I would also encourage you to talk with his neurologist about beginning physical therapy specifically for PD. It really does make a difference. In many communities there are PD exercises where both the patient and caregiver/spouse can attend together. You might check with your local Y or large hospital system to see what they offer. Also, Rock Steady Boxing has a program for PD patients.

I would appreciate hearing how things are going for you both. Will you keep in touch?

My husband did see a neurologist who also mentioned Rock Steady Boxing. The classes near us had very limited times as my husband still works. He enrolled in "I Love Kickboxing" classes and loves it.
