karl,
thanks for posting your experiences and feelings. i was dx'd about a year ago and i have learned more about pd here in this forum than from evrywhere else.
gps and even neurologists often arent able to diagnose pd. the neurologist i went to is well known, highly respected in his field, and closely connected to a well known teaching medical center. he knew enough not to dx me but reffered me to an mds - movement disorder specialist - that dxd me with pd in about 30 minutes. my symptoms were stiffness in my left arm, dragging left foot, and initial tremor.
if you worked at a pac ten there is probably an mds somewhere nearby. those drs you are seeing now are frustrating me,

just from reading your posts.
