Very common.

I read extensively about Parkinson’s. I don’t take it for granted that I’m getting the right
Treatment.

Parkinson’s is an extremely complicated disease and no one can know everything.

You know how you’re feeling. Look those symptoms up, and get information. If your Neurologist tells you something different, you probably need another Neurologist.’there are Neurologists who are specially trained in Movement Disorders and are far more knowledgeable.

People on this site have been told things that are very wrong. You should make sure your Neurologist knows what he or she is talking about.
