Hi all im new from Oz. neuro says I have PD...he thinks......but he was not sure about the MRI which showed a small old R lacuna infarct in and next to the caudate nucleus (thats part of the basal ganglia and works with movement / behaviour / speech and is part of one of 4 dopamine pathways from the substantia nigra) anyway I have a left tremor which fits a R infarct, no other symptoms.
Comments?
Also I have been reading how an injury FIRST say in a foot or arm can cause PD like symptoms as the feedback from the limb causes some brain dissociation which sets up a dysfunction. When neuros diagnose this as Pd the meds they prescribe eventually cause the symptoms they are expecting. Toxicity leading to dopamine destruction = tremor etc. Nasty loop. Have a link but cant post it yet, some rule
