Hi,
My father was diagnosed with PD in Nov. 2008, although I think it started earlier than that. He has an amazing spirit and always looks for the positive in everything, including PD. However, the short term memory loss he is experiencing as a result of the PD or a combination of all the drugs is taking its toll on him. I don't know what to do to help him with this- if he has a notebook, he forgets the notebook. Any suggestions that have worked for you or someone you know to cope with the serious short term memory loss would be greatly appreciated (tricks to use, a tool that has significantly helped, etc..)
