Dear Vicky,

Thanks a lot for the link. Testing olfactory function might be helpful, who conducts such tests, though? The result is actually the olfactory function in people having vascular Parkinson and healthy people does not differ a lot and is significantly better than in patients with Parkinson's disease, right? I mean I am not sure I got it correctly.

Charlie, JoClay – thanks a million for your replies!

Do you think it could be reasonable for my mom to discontinue Madopar since it does not help and is probably causing the side effects?

If there is anything I can do for you, guys, just let me know. I speak German, so if you need anything to be translated ….
