Neurologists who are not specialised with PD

In reply to your email I fully agree with you as some Neurologlists who > are not specialised with PD wrongly or not accurate diagnosed PD patients > as an ageing diseases.> i.e. when you grow older your movement goes slow.

No PD medication are > given but only vitamins prescription.>

As PD is a progressive disease if it delays for treatment it will turn > worsen and difficulty to be normal again.>>

Besides that we have limited Movement Disorder Specialists and it takes > times to visit them. We have high rate of people die on PD disease.>>

It makes doctors more difficulty to diagnose a person who is the PD > beginner.

As the symptoms of PD are not only for PD patients but they are > also for other sick person.

Therefore some specialists wrongly or > inaccurate diagnosed.

I have the symtoms of PD for the last of 10 years. I use to complain the PD symtoms to related doctors and was told I am growing ageing and it is normal your movement goes slow.Vitamins were prescribed as the result I have constipation.

I have even gone MRI screening and it shown negative. As PD is a progressive and chronic disease and once delays for treatment it becomes worsen. I am in stage 2 of PD.
