Meet the Client: L.C
L.C. is a 78-year-old man with a 3-year history of Parkinson disease (PD). He is a retired engineer, married, and living with his wife in a small farming community. He has 4 adult children who live close by. Since his last visit to the clinic 6 months ago, L.C. reports that his tremors are “about the same” as they were. However, further questioning reveals that he feels his gait is a little more unsteady and his fatigue is slightly more noticeable. L.C. is also concerned about increased drooling. Among the medications L.C. takes are carbidopa-levodopa 25/100 mg (Sinemet) and pramipexole (Mirapex) 0.5 mg, each three times daily. On the previous visit the Sinemet was increased from 2 to 3 times daily. He reports that he has become very somnolent with this regimen and that his dyskinetic movements appear to be worse just after taking his carbidopa-levodopa (Sinemet).
