It took 7 years for me to get dxed with PD. First I was tested for MS and those tests came back normal, but the neuro thought there was something neurologically wrong. I went to a movement disorder specialist who told me there was nothing wrong with me. I went to a lyme disease doctor who said it was not lyme disease. I went to a MS specialist who said it was just anxiety causing my symptoms.
My advice is to find a neuro you like and just hang in there. It took a while until I developed symptoms more typical of PD and going to a lot of different doctors didn't help. If your symptoms are not typical, many university doctors don't like to admit they don't know what is wrong with you so they say it is just anxiety or something.
I could always name some of my symptoms, but can explain things better in writing. PD causes you to move slowly and to think slowly. If you think slowly, you can express yourself better by writing.
