Adelenapier,
I am curious how that meeting made you feel?? Do you know how informed your new doctor is about PD??? iI’m sure you have so may unanswered questions! If this doctor does not specialize in PD, I might get a second opinion. I hope this community might support you through this transitional time!

That's good. Mothers never progressed any further then the balance problem, the mask , and her one finger twitched.

Hi Adelenapier,
Just an FYI, my first neurologist did not specialize in PD, which I did not know (nor did he share with me). I found out, when talking to my primary doctor about how disappointed I was with my experience talking with the neurologist’s. (It was my primary doctor who suggested that I keep looking for a specialists.) Well, I met my new doctor or March 17th, and she IS a Specialist in PD. This experience was completely different! She educated me about PD, meds, and how important staying active is! She also validated that I did have PD, and wants to see me in 2 months. Also, to call her (anytime) with questions or concerns! I wish you a much more positive experience with your new doctor! ☘️💕☘️

Well said, Colleen. I go to a movement disorder neurologist that specializes in PD. There is a huge difference. I'm 11 yrs in and my neuro suggested I come in every 4 mos.for the first 5 yrs. PD is a complicated disease. You might be one of the lucky ones. I agree that the 10 yr. mark is when things go south for most people.
You have probably heard about the "honey moon" --- the 1st 5 yrs. Wish the best for your journey!

Thanks
