Initial Diagnosis
What was your examination like when you were first diagnosed with PD? Mine seems rather quick and perfunctory. The Doc said I had PD just by watching me walk into the office. I take Carbidopa-Levodopa 25-100, 3 times a day; Entacapone 200 MG two times a day; and Rasagiline Mesylate, 1 MG once a day.
Same here, my neurologist had me get all kinds of blood work, MRI & MRI with contrast and other types of test.
The doctor made me walk in front of her and she would grab my shoulders to see if I could hold my balance. I couldn’t. I went for a 2nd opinion. He did a complete exam physical and verball. I take the same meds you are
The same with me , just asked me to walk in front of him .
Mine was about the same but I went to two - One said I had PD the other said I did not.
I had a Dat scan which confirmed diagnosis.
