Hi,
It is good to note that you are doing fairly well even after having Parkinson's disease (PD) for so many years. However, it is well known that medicines for PD become less effective over time and may lead to side effects such as sleep disturbance, hallucinations, nausea, etc. In late stages of PD, you should explore the option of DBS- deep brain stimulation surgery. DBS is very useful for patients with tremors and drug-induced dyskinesia.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
