[quote=Anonymous]My father also has Parkinson's. He was initially diagnosed around 60 and is now in his mid-70s and still doing relatively well. Early symptoms were stiffness in his movements, less pronounced facial expressions, balance problems, and just an inability to get his body to do certain things. Loss of smell is a common symptom, as are "restless legs" and sleep issues. PP is correct that meds don't treat, but just mask symptoms. OP, if he isn't already doing so, encourage your DH to exercise daily. It really helps mitigate the symptoms and has made a profound difference for my dad. [/quote]
