As per diagnosis done the medicine being given by concerned specialist is best suited to situation but there's not much scope of improvement it seems. That's limitation of medical science so far. If you agree, ayurveda medicine may be started which, in my opinion, will stop the progression of disease. But its not a short term treatment. Vaat nashak medicines are given in this disease. It's categorised under kampvat even if there's no tremors.Â
