Vickie that is a more precise definition of neurologist than the Oxford dictionary.

A search I did indicated constipation in many cases as an underlying cause of the condition worsening; it stops the L-dopa from being absorbed by the bowel.

I noticed that my Parkinson's systems got worse after I had my back surgery, but it was two years later that I got my diagnosis. It started with the restless leg syndrome. And that got worse, then I started falling a lot. That's when my PCP decided to send me to a nuerogist. I had a Dat scan.

I don't think my husband's neurologist knows what he is doing either! He just walks off and mumbles

I was told that my DAT Scan showed me parkinsonisnm; I saw the radiologist 's report. ,My Parkinsons specialist said "Good news; it s. Not degenerative. I.find that hard to believe. I have never heard of a medical response like that.
Has anyone or anyone you know response received a prognosis like that.?
