what can i do to help my mom?

My mom is very ill. My father is trying his best to take care of her. She seems to have gone from having parkinson's at a level of 4 (on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst) to a 10 in just under a year. We cannot find anyone to help us in the boca area. We have been trying and trying to get in with a neurologist that specializes in movement, filled out the requested prior paperwork, and have not gotten a call yet. It's been over a month. Any advice? Desperate to help her.



Very rapid worsening suggests an atypical form of Parkinsonism or perhaps an intercurrent illness that has caused her to decompensate.I suggest you seek the advice of an expert on Parkinson Disease in Boca:Dr. Stuart Isaacson practices as a Neurologist at Barton & Cochran Neurology in Boca Raton, FL. Call (561) 392-1818
