This does not sound right but everyone is different. I would get a seccond opinion.

I'm sorry to hear of your quick decline. My prayers are with you. You have given me some things to look up that I'm not familiar with. Have a blessed day.😃

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 10 years ago but Dr. figured I had it longer. I don’t have dementia, maybe Mild Cognitive decline. I still drive, took up boxing and will be buying electric Trike this week. I’ve quit calling it My Parkinson’s because I don’t want it to define me. I’m positive today because I feel good, tomorrow could be a different story.

If you don’t object, Bruce, I’d like to issue a bit of a challenge on one point only. Under the umbrella of Parkinsonism 80% have Parkinson Disease, none of which looks the same on each person, and that may well be what you are in effect saying. But 10% of people under that same umbrella have Dementia with Lewy Bodies. It usually starts out looking like PD but in a fairly short period of time symptoms not found in PD begin to appear plus the protein affected in the brain is different than PD. That last 10% under the umbrella are called atypical Parkinsonism and they include MSA-C , MSA- P , PSP, and a few others. But even these, not 2 people look exactly alike and it always bears reminding people that just as humans are all different, so are the manifestations of each disease in each affected person. Nevertheless they are similar in some ways and very different in others.
Otherwise you’re dead on
And os gar as I fa

Thanks to all who answered my question. Hugs.
