KateKline welcome to this forum.
You write that one of your doctors said that "if you had PD your eyes would blink very fast". This surprises me. PD is usually associated with a slow blink rate.
You mention being put on levodopa. It is not a definitive test, but people with PD usually respond quickly (within a hour) to therapeutic levels of levodopa (a dose of between 50 and 100mg).
Good luck with your tests.
John
