My dad is quite a fighter yet his syptoms
are quickly progressing. He's on
dopamine, yet he's getting very
dizzy.Looks like he's drunk and is so off
balance i'm afraid he's gonna have a bad
fall. He's also getting severe headaches
and severe fatique and very stiff neck. I
cannot imagine him becoming disabled from
this disease...He's such a good man

Hello,
I understand what your father is going
through because my grandfather also is
going through Parkinson's disease right
now and it's not easy at all. It's a
horrible disease and really hard to watch
someone you love go through this. My
grandfather has had it now for about
five-six years and it's just really not
getting any better, of course because it's
not suppose to..just gets worse
unfortunately. I definitely understand how
you are feeling though..you feel very
helpless and you don't really know what to
do. That's how I feel all the time with my
grandfather. My grandfather hasn't
complained about those side effects from
his medication but I'm sure that everyone
reacts differently to their medications
and what not. Have you told the doctor
about those side effects he is having? I
definitely would. Also, how long has your
dad had Parkinson's disease for? How old
is he?
