My mother was diagnosed 3 yrs ago with parkinson's. She is on low dose sinemet along with paxil for depression. Last Friday I noticed she was shaking quite a bit more than normal and when I returned her to the facility that she lives in I had asked the nurse if she had possibly missed any of her meds since we were gone about 4 hours. The nurse informed me that my mother was hiding meds and when questioned on where these meds were found I was told a pill was found on her bed and one on the dining room table. I don't consider this to be hiding and my mother was very upset at this accusation. She has never refused medication before and I myself am upset with this nurses attitude with mom. Again today she had an episode of shaking greater than normal and this same nurse called the house PA who took my mother off her pain medication for her knee and then ordered urine sample for UTI !!!! I am so upset since we are private pay and I don't see the corralation between the two. I'm so sorry that this is so lengthy but I just don't know where to turn. I myself believe this excelerated shaking may be due to her Parkinson's not the Darvocet or a UTI. Does anyone have any idea of how I should deal with this?
