Just found out that my MIL has early onset Parkinsons - at only 72. Was a super active person who danced and volunteered all over her small town. My wife began to notice some things just werent right. Her gait was off, her movements became slow and very deliberate, etc.
She had a neurology appt scheduled for June, as that was the EARLIEST available slot. Thanks to the providincial hand of God, they had a cancellation yesterday and my MIL was able to make it. Neurologist has a brother and parent with Parkinsons and knew it immediately. Told my MIL, no need for more tests, I know what it is. Let's just get you on some medicine (Sinemet).
Well, this just sucks bunk. My wife and her mom are so close, despite living 3 hours apart. We know where many of our weekends will be spent for next few years.
What is your experiences and suggestions?
