my neck alwsays feel stiff when looking to the left and when im drinking i seem to struggle with how to remember to swallow my drink (like the liquid in my mouth wont go down) i have more symptoms but that is the main stuff!! blush

ive had a gazillion blood tests a heart ecg, blood pressure is fine, mri on sat morning 24/4/10 just waiting for results.

i saw the neurologist who sed my mood is down which will make my symptoms feel worse wot a cop out!!! i am a real bubbly person always laughing but i have changed so much i dont go out anymore unless someone is with me smhair   blush im 26 but feel  107!!!! im so down as i dont know wot is wrong cant even walk round a shop!!

Laura - Sorry to hear you are so unwell -yeah - find yourself a new neuro - there are medications that will help. I have PD and the meds have totally stopped my shakes. So Hang in there kiddo and push for diagnosis. You can do it and I'm sure you'll get lots of help and good advice here in this forum

This is my 1st post, Had PD signs for 4 or 5 yrs Diagnosed 2 yrs ago. Taking Sifrol 1mg 3 times a day & Cinemet 250/25's - 2 tablets 3 times a day. Also use Paxam 05's occasionally to help with sleep

Not only do you need a new neurologist, you need one that is a movement disorder specialist. The first neurologist I saw said that I had PD. Here take this sinimet.........Not real happy with that neurologist. Foumd a new one that is a movement specialist. He agreed that sinemet was not the best choice to start. Now taking Azilect and Artane. Feel good, no tremors. all symptoms gone.

try different neurologist.  everyones body is different and will respond differently to medication.
