Thank you all! What an amazing group of people. My mom is not great with the internet but I read her all of your posts and she was humbled at the number of people that responded and offered advice. I think she felt that she was not alone and had a place where I could ask questions for her. She was more positive at the end of our call. I'm in California and she is in Buffalo.

Soccertese thank you for the info on the meds. They gave her 25-100 strength and it is a yellow tab that is scored. She split in half this morning and took a half and did not get nauseous which is good but she was very anxious and thought maybe the med did that but I told her likely not. For background she is 70 and has struggled for years with depression and is agoraphobic. She has high blood pressure and diabetes which she gets treated for. She is not in good health and does not exercise. I wonder if the anti depressants over the years contributed to this.,

Bad boy - thank you for your offer to help with the symptoms I really appreciate it. She has pretty noticeable tremors, pretty moderate stiffness, hunched over, shuffles, insomnia, trouble turning on her bed at night. She is slow and really has a hard time moving. She finally went to the doctor after a year of noticeable symptoms because she could not take it any longer. I think trying the meds might be her best bet to try to give her some relief. But it's up to her. I will read up in all the great info you all provided but she is very afraid of most pills so we will see how things go and it will be up to her to decide on any additional supplements and talk to her doc.

Two additional questions. Is there a link to find local support groups that perhaps meet that she could join? And second she has a treadmill but has such trouble walking that I was thinking of getting her a recumbent bike. Is there a need for a bike like a theracycle or us a regular recumbent bike ok?
