My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease about 8 years ago, but now the doctors are saying he has progressive supranuclear palsy. He's been on Syndopa, but it seems to be making things worse for him. He used to take Ropark, and that was working well. Should we consider going back to Ropark instead?

Question

I'm really worried about my 66-year-old mom. She has epilepsy and she's been having this shortness of breath like asthma, along with a bad cough and cold. I was wondering if she could take deriphyllin along with ascoril expectorant syrup? Just want to make sure it's safe for her.

Question

How long does a stroke last?

Question

I'm genuinely worried about my mom. Shes been feeling this creepy crawling sensation under her skin, like ants biting her, and it's been happening several times throughout the day. It's mostly in the upper part of her body but seems to be spreading. This has been going on for over a month, and she's tried allergy meds like Atarax and Candiforce, but nothing's helping. And shes also diabetic, which adds to my concerns. Im not sure which specialist we should consult. Any guidance would be really appreciated.
