About Me
I am a partial caretaker of my 87 year old aunt who has Parkinson's for about 8 years. She can't go on the computer, so I'm doing it for her.

Close Parkinson's Disease
My 87 year old aunt has Parkinson's Disease, and is becoming more and more difficult to care for. My 85 year old aunt lives with her, as well as a home health aid that is there 24/7. She has begun hitting them when they try to give her her meds. We are looking for ideas of how to handle her.
Treatments
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- We spend a lot of time with her trying to make her do some things conversing with her and taking her out for rides.
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- Works somewhat
- Tarceva Working / Worked
- Higher doses make her extremely paranoid or increase her dimensia.
