      My wife was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder in 1970 with the birth of our son. However, the real rollercoaster period began in 1988 when she reached menopause, and lasted about 12yrs. Today, the BP is under control.

    • Close Parkinson's Disease

      My wife was diagnosed with PD about 5 years ago. Mobility and incontinence due to the PD is her prime problem. At this point in time, her treatment is Stelavo 150, 4 times daily. Condition is worsening faster than anticipated.

    • Open Caregivers

      I am a fulltime caregiver for my wife, who is fighting both BiPolar Disorder and Parkinson's Disease, and now total incontinence due to the parkinsons. At this time in her life the BP is under control, but her mobility due to PD is very limited.

    • Open Urinary Incontinence

      My wife has Parkinson's Disease, and it now appears to be causing urinary incontinence.

      Treatments
