My dads latest appointment didn’t seem to go well. They wanted to increase his carpa dopa, but he told them he felt he had more issues once upping the dosage. His foot started to kinda curl in and make it harder to walk, his tongue does weird twitches that greatly bother him, pain in both arms now, and constipation. So he stepped back down on his dosage but the newest symptoms are still there. The doctor he saw today said “if he wants to stay handicapped forever” then keep saying you don’t want more meds. They want him to increase carpa dopa and add in anxiety meds but he is concerned about all the possible side effects. The doctor told him his newest symptoms are made up in his mind due to his fear of the side effects he has read. From my research it seems these are all normal progressions of parkinsons. I hope I worded this correctly, but the main thought is any opinions on this doctors thoughts that seemed to blame my dad and say he’s making stuff up and things would just get better if he took more pills.
Also anyone on here happen to be seen for their parkinsons in Montgomery Alabama?
Lily. Sorry to hear that your father is being gaslighted by his doctor because he isnt being a good lil patient. The thing with PD meds is they only help treat the symptoms of PD not cure the disease. The stiffness is common in PD and it is a possible side effect from the medication. Your fathers anxiety, and depression are considered non-motor symptoms of PD.
When it comes to his medications, i woukd recommend using drugs.com interactions program. You can create a free account, list all his meds, and supplements and it will generate a list of any interactions the meds will have and rate the level of danger the interactions could be. I dont trust doctors, nurses or pharmacists to notice or tell me if they do notice.
I hope you and your dad have a Happy Easter
