Carly,

I don't understand the reasoning process of the many doctors that put off diagnosing or even taking an aggressive approach with neurological problems and diseases.
Are they young age-shy?

Glad to hear you have a GP you are comfortable with and who listens. He must be worth the long drive.

I was diagnosed within 15 mins. of my first neurological appointment with a doctor who specializes in PD.
No tests, just experience and wisdom and boldness were used after an assessment. It doesn't bother me that she didn't run any tests because I had symptoms for 5 years and my grandfather had PD. I already knew, but didn't want to admit, that I had PD.

I wish it was as simple for you regarding a diagnosis. But, all Drs. are different and have different ideals when it comes to neurological diseases, it seems.

It seems like they should all follow the same standard in the steps taken to diagnose their patients.

You have a great attitude, though. Don't know if I would be as positive as you.

Thanks for being a good example,
Let us know how the appointment goes,

Tonya
