Sounds like he needs to have his meds adjusted. When was his last visit to the doctor? What kind of doctor is he seeing - GP, neuro, or movement disorder specialist?

The meds make him sick so he can't take them any more

You need to get him to a Neurologist or a Movement Disorder specialist to figure out what meds he /can/ take. That is where you will find help. Parkinson's with no meds is NOT good.

Your dad and the doctor need to work together to figure out what meds he can take.

Hmm. You could ask him to come talk to us here. We are not doctors but if he's not seeing eye to eye with his MD maybe we could come up with some suggestions.

They make my dad very sick, but he takes them. Six tablets, five times a day. He chews on ginger from the health food store and has meds for when he feels very sick, but without meds, he couldn't function. :(

If the Meds are making him sick ask for him to go onto the patches no sickness with them

we have tried that too he has such a sensitive immune system. I fell so frustrated with this because not being able to take stuff for his Parkinson's because of his sensitive immune system.

Seems to methat your Dad is lucky to have your support. The book Goodbye Parkinson's, Hello Life by Alex Kertenand David Brinn, has an excellent Chapter on Caregiving. Recommend it.available on Amaon.

Ask his neurologist if it's ok for him to exercise. Exercise is really good for Parkinson's. He should walk, bike or ? Just don't let him sit around and do nothing. Get him into a support group and you may need to go to one for Caregivers to help you cope with everything. Where do you live in the U.S.? I am 59 and have been doing boxing (non-contact) for over 9 years at a place called Rock Steady Boxing - rocksteadyboxing.org and it helps a lot. Check with his neurologist and see if he/she has heard of Rock Steady. Take care and keep strong!
