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?

I've been feeling really weak and lethargic lately, along with this weird heaviness in my head and vibrations throughout my body. On top of that, there's this occasional loss of coordination when I move. What could be causing these symptoms?

I would recommend seeking medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Paracetamol 500mg for relief from any associated headaches or body aches.
