I am helping my sister the past week and i understand her frustation when she can't find the right words to ask a question etc. She got really mad and started yelling at me because i didn't know what she wanted to say.

The anger and snippiness is symptom of Parkinson’s. She’s not mad at you, she’s just mad. Don’t fight with a disease, just walk away. I know it’s hard, but she’s not rational, you are. Talk to her neurologist about it. There may be medication that can help.

My sister has Parkinson’s and forgetting her words mid sentence is very frustrating for her.
Your welcome.
Thank you!!
