   Question?? (Alzheimer's Disease & Dementia board)

15th September 2006
Hi Jan,

My dad has alzheimers and parkinsons. The neurologist said that he could tell he had parkinsons because, he shook (his hands), he shuffles his feet. When the doctor bent his legs and arms, and moved them around different ways, he said he was really stiff.

He takes sinemet or it is also called carbidopa/levadopa and he is staying just about the same. The neuro said not to bring him back (to just go to family dr.)til he is totally shaking all of the time.

I would have it checked out if I were you.

Love, Wannabe
