Hi,
My name is Ibrar (I'm 29). and my father has Parkinson's. My father is 63 and was first diagnosed with PD about 15 years ago. He has most of the common traits of PD, slurring voice , limited movement, curling toes, slouched body posture. Slurring voice and limited movement tend to disappear after about 30minutes after taking his prescribed medication.
My father has also had hallucinations in the past (someone sitting on the end of his bed or someone knocking on the door). However, the hallucinations and now delusions have turned into something more serious. He believes my mother is cheating on him. Most of his argument is always illogical. At first, I told him what he was saying isn't true and he somewhat agreed. Now it's the polar opposite and he is stuck in his belief that he is right and mentally strong.
We've reduced some of his medication, based on suggestions from our GP (who took guidance from the PD Doctor) however, he's unwilling to reduce his evening dose of Madopar.
Is there anyone out there who has come across something similar and can suitable advise?
Thanks
Ibrar
