Question

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've been getting these sudden headaches every afternoon around 5pm for the past week. They're kind of strange since they happen at the same time every day, but I don't feel dizzy when they hit. Do you think there's something I should be worried about or any idea why this might be happening?
