Parkinsons affects individuals at different ages and with varying severity. My partner has just received a Parkinsons diagnosis in mid 80s and can only walk a few steps using a frame. Co-careldopa has been prescribed, but would it be realistic to expect any significant improvement given that age and progression of the condition is so advanced? Can others with similar experience re relate to this!,
