Can you recommend advanced Parkinson's care?

Patient's Query

Dear Drs, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Kamilia Ghoul, and I am reaching out to you on behalf of my father, who is currently suffering from advanced Parkinson's disease. He is 79 years old and has reached stage 5 of the condition. We are located in Tunis, and the need for specialized medical care has become imperative. In light of his situation, we are urgently seeking a hospital that can provide the comprehensive treatment he requires. It is critical that the facility we choose has the expertise and resources necessary to address his mobility issues and to improve his quality of life as much as possible. I am requesting your professional guidance to identify the best hospital that offers advanced care for Parkinson's patients at this stage of the disease. Your expertise in the field would be immensely helpful in ensuring that my father receives the best possible treatment. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you may have or assistance in facilitating a referral, if possible. Please let me know if there are any specific procedures or information required to proceed. I am ready to provide any relevant medical records or documentation needed for evaluation. Thank you for your help and consideration in this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, Kamilia Ghoul 00974 50705591

When Parkinson's is this far along, it's a good idea to ge­t care at a special hospital. The hospital can help manage­ your dad's symptoms. He might benefit from physical the­rapy to stay as active as possible. The doctors may change­ his medications or consider surgery to he­lp him feel bette­r. Before going to the hospital, gather all your dad's medical records. Write­ down notes about how he's bee­n doing lately. This information will help the doctors unde­rstand his situation and make a good treatment plan just for him.

I am suffering from hemifacial spasm. I want to cure it permanently. Pls help

Female | 38

A hemifacial spasm cause­s one side of your face to twitch involuntarily. This happe­ns when a nerve ge­ts irritated in your cheek are­a. Although uncontrolled facial twitching is unpleasant, treatme­nt options like Botox injections or surgery e­xist. These can help re­lax the affected ne­rve, stopping the spasms. Such treatme­nts aim to provide relief, improving your quality of life­. So do not lose hope, as permane­nt solutions are available.

Last year, I got sick pretty bad. It started with migraine like headaches then intense body pain and severe back and neck pain. It was followed by fatigue, muscle stiffness and dizziness. No amount of painkillers relieved the pain. I couldn't even walk properly, someone had to hold me to get through hospitals. I got several tests done including MRI, EEG, B12, vitamin tests, eye tests, CBC and X ray for my back. There were a few vitamin deficiencies but they shouldn't have caused that much pain according to the doctors, MRI was pretty much normal. There were few abnormalities with my XRay in spine but again they were mild and not severe enough to cause me such intense pain. I took medication or migraine, some medication to make my nerves strong and I think some anxiety meds because they suspected GAD (all were prescribed by doctors). Most physicians suggested I go to a psychologist and the psychologist referred me back to physicians and I went back and forth. I got better after bed rest but I had to go back to college because I was missing on my studies. But I fell sick again, cramps like pain, consistent fever but on and off. I got tested for typhoid and other things but absolutely nothing. Then I went to a neuropsychiatrist who told me I had fibromyalgia, it aligned pretty well since I always had memory gaps as well and I've been concerned about it for a while. The medication he gave me worked, I for the first time in months started feeling better but as time passed by, it stopped working for me. I couldn't continue the medication due to expenses as well. So, I've been in pain ever since. When I've had a tiring day the pain is bad, when I am stressed it's worse. Every morning I wake up with pain and every night I go to bed in pain cuz it's worse in the mornings and night. If I rest too much, that's painful and if I don't that's painful too. Fever also shoots up every now and then. My body is in pain and exhausted, everything is difficult, walking up or down the stairs. Although some days it's better but other days it's difficult to even move, painkillers do absolutely nothing. I don't know what to do anymore

Female | 19

It could be fibromyalgia. This condition causes widespread pain in your body along with tenderness too – plus other things like being tired often or having trouble sleeping well. However, there are ways to handle this. For example, physical therapy might help ease some of the hurt; moderate activities such as walking or swimming could be beneficial because they won’t make the ache worse but can still keep muscles from getting too stiff; also relaxation methods (e.g., mindfulness meditation/deep breathing) may relieve stress which often worsens any existing discomfort. Besides that, proper rest is crucial, so try getting enough sleep each night; nutrition matters, so eat healthily; don’t push yourself too hard.

Treatment for parkinson disease

Male | 44

Treatment for Parkinson's disease focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. This typically involves medication to increase dopamine levels, physical therapy to improve mobility, occupational therapy to enhance daily living skills, and speech therapy for speech and swallowing difficulties. 
In advanced cases, deep brain stimulation may be considered. Exercise and stress management, are also important. The treatment approach is normally tailored to each individual's needs and may require regular adjustments and monitoring.
