When a person shows up in a #doctor’s office with symptoms that may be related to #ParkinsonsDisease, the #diagnosis may not be obvious since symptoms often differ from person to person or could be indicative of other conditions. (1/4)
It’s common for people go doctor to doctor over months or even years before they get a correct diagnosis. A visit to a #movementdisorders #neurologist may result in a faster PD diagnosis, but unless #Parkinsons is suspected, that may not be the first specialist on the list. (2/4)
For some, a #Parkinsons diagnosis comes as a relief; explanation for previously #undiagnosed symptoms. Others may be stunned, struggling with what the future may look like. As you begin processing emotions, which can be wide-ranging, it’s important to know #YouAreNotAlone. (3/4)
