Question posed by copmagnet95: How can I help get my friend in jail his Parkinson’s meds?
My friend went to jail last Thursday and he has late stage Parkinson’s disease. I read a few articles how people have died from jails with holding their medications. We are trying to bail him out but this takes time. We have not heard from him since Saturday morning. Please somebody help.
As of Satuday they had not given him any medication even though it was in the car with his name on the bottles right next to him when he was arrested. At the county jail here you can not visit someone who is in the hospital section of the jail.
I realize I cannot bring him the medicine. Should I call his doctor? Or try to speak with someone at the jail? If so who exactly?
I just called the doctor and spoke with reception and she now has the list of meds and is going to let the doctor know the situation. Thank you everyone. I am in tears I’m so worried.
Chosen answer:
Answer by Fail Whale If he has Parkinson’s, the prison will supply the medication for him. You cannot bring him any drugs. If you have not heard from him, you should visit to see what’s up.
In Part 3, a study at Vanderbilt Medical Center on Early Stage Parkinson’s Disease is testing a method to slow the progression of this degenerative disease. www.vanderbilthealth.com

Most detailed answer:
Answer by rs_mrgn Parkinson’s disease is a disorder that affects nerve cells, or neurons, in a part of the brain that controls muscle movement. In Parkinson’s, neurons that make a chemical called dopamine die or do not work properly. Dopamine normally sends signals that help coordinate your movements. No one knows what damages these cells. Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease may include
Trembling of hands, arms, legs, jaw and face
Stiffness of the arms, legs and trunk
Slowness of movement
Poor balance and coordination
As symptoms get worse, people with the disease may have trouble walking, talking or doing simple tasks. They may also have problems such as depression, sleep problems or trouble chewing, swallowing or speaking.
Parkinson’s usually begins around age 60, but it can start earlier. It is more common in men than in women. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease. A variety of medicines sometimes help symptoms dramatically.
