I am with you. I insisted on the Dat scan brain test after 5 years of hell. And now I find out I don't have parkinson's. And after taking parkinson's pills that messed me up and I never even had it.
Chip.. I cannot believe neurologists do not do scan for all PD patients. Now I'm questioning my diagnosis and rightfully so 🤔
Thank you for sharing this with us đź«‚
A DATSCAN is the test that can confirm the presence or not of Parkinson's. My wife was diagnosed with PD in 2014 . She had the DATSCAN last week that showed she does NOT have PD but, may have, what they call Parkinsonism which mimics Parkinson's disease.
We are looking to go to Mayo to get better information.
If you want to know for sure if you have parkinson's or not get the Dat scan brain test. I was diagnosed 5 years ago. Been on parkinson's meds. I finally had the test. I DON'T have parkinson's. It is the only test that will tell you one way or the other. None of those silly tests they do in the office. Get it done. It was not painful or hard. I pray 🙏 you get the same news I did.

Dale Dat scan is 95% . It is well worth getting for sure. So far it is the only and best test.
