[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 124583, member: 3704"] Kate's Mom, My grandmom had Parkinson's and she had issues with hallucinations when she was on the wrong medications. I called her one afteroon around 4:00pm to say "hi", and she said," how can you call me when you're right here on my sofa?" Needless to say, I was very concerned. I asked her to hand the phone to "the lady on the sofa", but she kept saying "she doesn't want to talk". Needless to say my Mom and I got her to the doctor pronto. It was the medications and with a change she cleared right up. However, her Parkinson's did progress and her issues reappeared several years later. The neurologist told us about the "sundown syndrome". Apparently late afternoon and early evening are hard times for the elderly. They can experience more confusion at that time of day - and no one really knows why. It is a well documented phenomenon. Maybe a couple of these issues are going on with your Mom. I'm so sorry that your family is experiencing this. Parkinson's is a serious disease. There are more options for treatment than ever before, but it is a progressive illnesses. My thoughts and prayers are with you. [/QUOTE]
