Q:My Dad is 75 yrs old and diagnosed with PD two years ago. He has very slight tremor, but much rigidity and slowness of movement. He is on Sinemet 2x/day. Problem: lately he is having trouble mentally doing things that used to come very easily - i.e., tax returns, copying flight schedules forShow Answer
airline trips, etc., or anything that involves mental transferring of info from brain to paper. He makes mistakes or copies incorrectly and he becomes very upset and this probably makes it even worse. Is this part of PD? Would an increase in Sinemet help this? Any advice would be appreciated!
