My husband

I myself don't have parkinsons, my husband does. Lawrence was in Vietnam and exposed to agent orange. This gave him a double dose of parkinsons because he also got it hereditary. I have one concern, there are times that his whole body becomes unresponsive and this will last up to three hours, this is not a typical parkinsons freeze. The Dr. doesn't have a name for it. I have talked to other people who have family members that do the same thing, and they don't know what it's called. Do you have any ideas?

  1. Hi I am sorry to hear what your husband is enduring. Hopefully if anyone has had any experience with a situation like this they will weigh in. If you are not satisfied with your husband's current doctor and his response to this, I would recommend seeking another opinion. If that is something you are interested in trying. Hoping his medical team can get to the root cause of what is going on. Sending hugs to you both. -Jessica (Team Member)
