Read all you can about the disease and treatments

Hi - I suggest that you contact the National Parkinsons Foundation (www.parkinson.org). They have a lot of information and are very helpful. Also, the Michael J. Fox organization has been having 1 hour seminars online monthly which gives information for Parkinson's patients that is very helpful. If you contact them, they may have information that can also help you.

I do not think my dad would want me talking to his Dr. Scott and White here has a special section for Parkinson's. I will look for that book. So far what I read is very confusing.

We are lucky to have a support group offered by a hospital in our area. Check your area for one or ask your dads doctor if he knows of one. It helps to talk to other caregivers.
