PD Progression, stages and what to expect
My dad is 82 yrs old PD diagnosed. He was doing well overall until a couple of weeks. This time around he is feeling very tired, week and barely can stand up or get out of bed. Any thoughts on what to do, what to expect? how to support him? is he heading to the point of no return?

2 ReactionsIs anyone with PD, or know of someone with PD who describes themselves as having "brainfog"? A feeling of not being fully present mentally, confusion, weakness, fatigue, out of focus eyes? - with some weakness & a lack of stamina? Thank you. It isn't constant, but it does occur often

6 Reactionshello ... i was dx'd about 5 yrs ago at age 66 and go through bouts of the same. almost every time i find it is inflammation causing it. 'my' go-to for this is ibuprophen. also, for energy i take a vitB complex, heavy on vitb-12.
best of luck...

5 ReactionsHi, @dgalindo, and welcome. I applaud your looking out for your dad with his Parkinson's disease. Sorry to hear he is not doing as well overall.
When was your dad diagnosed with Parkinson's? Are you aware of any factors from a couple weeks ago that may have contributed to his feeling tired, weak and barely being able to stand up or get out of bed?
