Support Group
I went to the Parkinson's Support Group this week. My husband didn't go, but there was a Motion Disorder Specialist as the guest speaker so I thought I would see what he had to say. He described the new medications that are being studied, so it was interesting. Some drugs are in Phase 3 and if that passes then the next step is the market. He also talked about Gene studies, the pump and patches.
It was an interesting night and I also talked to a guy that has had the surguery where the inplanted a thing which helps control this tremors. He was really switching but after the inplant, he is much better and has a better quality of life. He's having a little problem walking but he doesn't know if it's from that operation.
My husband drove for an hour yesterday and his eyes didn't bother him, so that was good. I drove back home. He gets his next botox injections in a couple of weeks.
