My father died last year, 3rd of March, approximately seven years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I recall the ordeal, being his primary care giver, a living nightmare for me(particularly considering the mental downfall I went through). What he was going through, probably was hundredfold of my own ordeal. He went on taking more advanced doses ( proportionate and quantity-wise) of Levodopa and Carbidopa, alongside serelin, and a couple anti hypertensive drugs as the disease progressed. It was helpless to the point of him wanting to take an overdose of Sinemet.... his health deteriorated drastically, medical bills piling up exponentially???!!!! ..its a long list of complications. Parkinson patients in Africa do really have a great tussle, one of unimaginable gruesomeness .
