My husband (age 44) has been diagnosed with early onset Parkinsons for four years. He has managed his Parkinsons well with a combination of sinnemet, amantadine and ropinerole and has recently changed to Siphrol. In the past six months he has had three grand mal seizures.e is currently in hospital after a seizure last week and the Neurologists are now saying that he had epilepsy in addition to his Parkinsons. I have done a lot of searching online and can't see many cases of Parkinsons patients also having epilepsy. Has anyone out there been diagnosed with both.
In time, Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body, so it can lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation. In the later stages of the disease, a person with Parkinson's may have a fixed or blank expression, trouble speaking, and other problems. Some people also lose mental skills (dementia).
