Has anyone had the punch biopsy test done for Parkinson's? I was diagnosed in Feb 2022 & just had it done today to confirm the diagnosis...

Curious about other's experience(s) w/ this test & the outcomes. I do not expect it to exclude me... too many other symptoms. Just curious.

Obviously it came back positive. Was this an original diagnosis or a confirmation?
