I wish I could have persuaded any of the the doctors I have seen to ask me those things. After 8 years they are still looking for my missing tremor. They mainly say 'What can I do for you today" as if I was looking for a new haircut... and are not pleased at all if I want to tell them that I am now falling a lot. Every time I get to see a different one I get a talk on sinemet toxicity, despite having been on a stable low dose for years. I tried to raise the issue of sleep recently and was offered an anti-depressant instead of a discussion of how it affects me....

More interested in their vision of PD than my vision of trying to survive it......

We do have a best practice guide, I guess they just haven't got time to read it.....
