By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but seriously a diet of clean organic real food, not the crap you stick in the microwave or comes prepackaged and pure clean purified water will go a long way in clearing up his symptoms. Pharmaceuticals are Never the answer to ones ills, they actually make things worse in the long run.
Your body was designed to heal itself with proper nutrition not drugs.
Another great way to regain health is stop eating sugar, flour and wheat products.
Stay away from canola oils and the like, use organic butter, olive or avocado oils.
As Hippocrates once said long ago and is still true today...”Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food”. Words to live by.
Most seniors today are deficient in magnesium, which if supplemented would really do wonders for the restless legs and many other ills.
In other words good nutrition is the answer!
There is so much great information out there regarding natural healing, you just need to look for it and stop believing doctors are gods.
Thanks for your response. This disease is so baffling and frustrating. Neurologist always asks if he feels any wearing off and he just shrugs. Like you, I notice very slight differences, usually in speech and comprehension. She always asks about "freezing" which I see regularly, and involuntary movement, which is rare. I think she is queing off of the freezing to up or change meds, as everything else is the same or even better since the PT and getting more exercise (she even noticed the improvement in his gait). I think I will continue to advocate for not adding meds unless really necessary. Already declined the hallucination medicine - one of the side effects is hallucinations!! Hugs to you and blessings. We have a long hard road ahead. Prayers that we are strong enough to endure
But still. Speaking for myself, I cannot imagine being offered a prescription by a doctor and not asking what it's for - what it's supposed to achieve, what the thinking is, how it will work, in what way we hope it will benefit me, are there any risks or drawbacks I need to know about.
So if you ask your neurologist those questions, she either will or won't come up with reasoning that makes sense to you. And if it does, great, go ahead; and if it doesn't, say no thank you.
I also would never be ashamed to state frankly that cost IS an issue, and if she, the neurologist, can come up with a drug regimen that will deliver the same benefits for less money you would be a happier bunny. I think we're all prone to feel that when it comes to our loved ones no price is too high and money must be no object, and it leaves us open to exploitation. This shiny strawberry flavoured tablet does exactly the same job as the grey chalky one and costs twice the price, but surely we only want the best for our best beloveds? There's nothing wrong with being a canny consumer.
