Hi everyone
My dad got a appointment in the new year with a Parkinson nurse, On my dad report it says that he also has parkinsonism.
Does this mean he has a form of Parkinson with his dementia ? I find this so confusing has one report says dementia and a other says parkinsonism.
i have notice while looking after my dad in lockdown, he comes across as more Parkinson's, because he has shaking of particular parts of the body in his hands, legs and sometimes i know his head shaking when sat up in the chair.
He has slow movement and stiff and inflexible muscles and also balance problems.
could someone here help me understand this situation, is parkinsonism form of Parkinson's.
