Hello @puhaha and welcome to the Parkinson's support group on Mayo Connect. I'm sorry to hear of the new problem your mom developed after COVID. From your post, I understand that your mom already has a diagnosis of Parkinson's. Is that correct? If so, have you contacted her doctor regarding this new problem? If not, please do so. Perhaps the doctor can offer suggestions on how she can deal with this.

I found some information about this from the National Institue of Health website. Here is a link to that article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3621852/

I would encourage you to read this so that you have a better understanding of what can be done to help individuals with this problem.

Will you keep in touch and let me know how she is doing?
