although, it is very expensive to see a movement disorder specialist.

simply put, it's a neurologist that specializes or has greater varied experiences wth parkinson's disease or such.

i saw a neuro that was movement disorder specialist, he was $500 an hour, ten years ago. my insurance paid $180 and i had to pay the rest.

after 10 years of pd, i was somewhat disappointed that he re-diagnosed me with pd, it was kinda bittersweet. i dunno, mayhap, i was hoping for something better or at least something else.

his experience made it easy for him to tell between the side effects of meds and what level of progression i was actually on.

he made recommendations for meds and such, kept in contact or consulted with my neuro.

all in all, the movement disorder specialist, made a big difference with my treatment.
