[QUOTE=KateKline;1178135]I am new here......'been over on the Peripheral Neuropathy board 'cause I was diagnosed with Small Fiber Neuropathy in July. Welp, this week I went to my THIRD neuro doc and he believes I have PD!!!! ( I asked my 1st neuro doc if I might have PD and she said"no, if you had PD your eyes would blink very fast"........say WHAAAAAAT?...she tell me this as she's performing an EMG/NC test on me!!!!!!). My 2nd neuro doc went off the 1st doc's notes and told me I have anxiety!!!

Welcome to the forum KateKline,

Was any of these neuro docs movement disorder specialist? It is always better to consult one that is as they are specially trained to recognize and deal with Parkinson. Some of the regular neurologists have very little knowledge of PD.
When I went to regular doctor few years ago before my PD diagnoses I was also told that it was an anxiety. Latter on when my left hand was visibly shaking another doctor told me it was an essential tremor. I only wish it was.
