This sounds really frightening, and it's completely understandable to feel alarmed. The most important thing right now is to contact her doctor or care team as soon as possible — today if you can. These changes need to be evaluated right away.
What you're describing could have several explanations. In advanced Parkinson's, symptoms can shift quickly, and some of what you're seeing may include:
- Reduced mobility and increased stiffness
- Cognitive changes or confusion
- Loss of appetite
- General feelings of being "off" or unwell
These can sometimes signal that medications need adjusting, or that something else is going on that a doctor needs to assess.
It's also worth knowing that as Parkinson's progresses, palliative care — which focuses on comfort and quality of life — becomes an important conversation to have with her medical team. They can give you a much clearer picture of where things stand.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Her care team is the best resource right now to help you understand what's happening and what comes next. Please reach out to them today. 💙
