Saskatoon, SK

I’m still trying to figure out whether I have Parkinson’s or not. I’ve seen a neurologist once and she muttered inconclusive. That’s all I heard or that’s all she said. She did ask me to come back in three months. At first she said three weeks and then changed it to three months. She put me on level carb. I’m still trying to figure it out because I get very irritable and down after I’ve taken it.

Regarding your diagnosis journey, it's actually common for doctors to need time to confirm Parkinson's. There are no definitive lab tests for PD, so neurologists often observe symptoms over time and may try medications to see if there's a positive response. Your doctor changing the follow-up from three weeks to three months suggests she wants to see how you respond to the medication over a longer period.

About your medication concerns:

The irritability and feeling down after taking [[treatment:levodopa/carbidopa:55d534f51fcaa397470006dd]] are important side effects to discuss with your neurologist. Don't wait until your three-month appointment if these symptoms are significantly affecting you - call her office to report these reactions.

Keep a diary with dates and times noting:
* When you take your medication
* Any mood changes or irritability
* How long these feelings last
* Any other symptoms you notice

This information will be valuable for your doctor to adjust your treatment or explore other options. Some people respond differently to Parkinson's medications, and finding the right regimen often takes some trial and adjustment.

It's completely normal to feel uncertain and worried during this diagnostic process. Many members describe feeling frightened by the unknown, but taking an active role in tracking your symptoms and communicating openly with your doctor can help you feel more in control.
