- It's been a long road due to delays by both my doctor and the insurance company. Yesterday I called my doctor to get the results from my ultrasound (left a message). Less than an hour later I receive a phone call from Imaging wanting to schedule an...
- OK, I am bringing forth a very sensitive subject to me right now. (One that has thrown me into a tailspin & sent me into "research mode" AGAIN!I was referred, accepted, and seen by a neuro at a large University Hospital specializing in Movement...
- I REALLY need input from the group. Have any of you actually went thru Cognitive Therapy relating to your PD?I was referred to a therapist specializing in Cognitive Therapy. I understood we were going to work on issues I have been having with...
- Did anyone else watch the 2 episodes of Michael J. Fox's new TV show last night?If so - what did you think?I heard interviews of PD patients on the local news station (an NBC station that airs the show). Of course - they thought it was a funny way...
- I am curious - how many of you have undergone neuro-cognitive testing either during the diagnosis stage or as you PD progresses.My neuro used it as a tool in making her final "official" dx of PD. I thought the testing was grueling - even breaking...
- I thought I remembered seeing this subject in a prior post, but I was not affected by this symptom at the time so skimmed over it. (I've tried searching prior posts, but it doesn't pull anything up.)I have noticed this creepy "crawling" sensation in...
- Hey - Just read you are the WINNER of the Winter Affirmation Contest you recently entered thru this site. And.....you get a free t-shirt with your poem printed on it?!?Pretty cool! Way to go!!!
- I tried to look this up to see if there has been a past discussion on this issue - even though it is not listed as a PD "symptom.Has anyone else had major dental issues - possibly connected with their PD? My dentist says it is due to my dry mouth...
- My neuro had me add 1200 mg. per day of Alpha Lipoic Acid a few months ago. One of her first questions on my visit was to make sure I was still taking it. She said it has shown promise for PD patients and is being widely recommended.Anyone else here...
- In the Friday edition of our local newspaper was the regular column written by Dr. Donahue. It's that last two sentences that threw me. Have you been told that after your initial diagnosis that your life expectancy is 10 yrs. on average? Maybe my...
- A little less than 2 weeks ago you were all kind enough to read & respond to my post concerning my very crazy visit to me neuro that left me confused as to whether I was dealing with PD - or some other dx or combo of dx. After my e-mail to the doc,...
- Over 2 1/2 yrs ago - after numerous medical tests (including cognitive testing) and taking a "watch & see" approach - my neuro diagnosed me as having PD. She told me we would have a lot of ground to cover, so she wanted me to come for an appt. every...
- I feel I have been placed in a difficult situation at work (I am the Office Manager at an elementary school - a position I love & have held for 18 yrs.). Like most of you I went through years of various symptoms before I finally found a neuro that...
- I should have discussed this with my neuro on my last visit, but thought I was experiencing rare & unrelated issues. Now I am wondering if the horribly painful ankle cramps (which causes my foot to cramp in an off-sided angle) is a PD symptom. It is...
- This has been on my mind since my diagnosis in Feb. 2011 and with the new year it seems the perfect time to come to you for advice.I REALLY want to raise PD awareness, as well as help fund research for PD. I feel very lucky that my PD is progressing...
