Lengthy Unresponsive Episodes: Not sure why

Hi Sue! My mom’s bp is always normal when this happens Along with her other vitals. IV fluids usually do help, but we have been making sure she is very hydrated lately drinking a full 32oz mug of electrolyte mix every day. She will not respond to any external painful stimuli. It is very scary, but docs have just said to let her go through it and wake up since they have no idea what is going on.

I would find that scary too! I think this sounds a little like catatonia, and am wondering if you can talk to her Parkinson's provider about whether this is characteristic of some people with the condition. I know symptoms can differ widely from one person to another.

Hello @nomsdicnadeen

Last month you were asking about your mom's unresponsive episodes. How is she doing? Any more episodes?

I would enjoy hearing from you when you have an opportunity.
