Hello to you. You truly sound like you love your mum. It also includes :-(ing care of her.. For how. Long? You think she's starting advanced. You are not from u.S. so I don't know what DAT or Oct.

Anyone to help you? I'm sorry for your position. I truly believe you should start with her Dr. Good luck, you are a very sweet person.
You are a very kind and special person I would be pleased to offer you some advice. I am 15 years into PD and I am self taught but live a reasonably normal life and am very happy.
