My husband was told by one doctor that it was Parkinsonism from a bad fall. He is treated the same as Parkinson's. It is very hard to find information that separates the difference of the two.
I've been diagnosed with PD for about six years now and I regularly see the nueraoigist who made my diagnosis. I find myself wondering if this is the best doctor to continue seeing or are there PD specialists that might provide a higher level of care. How many folks see a PD specialists for their care?
