Not wanting to hijack a very good thread on another topic altogether, I just wanted to comment on Evonnes post where she mentions that her neuro has diagnosed her with 'Levodopa Responsive Parkinsonism'. I have noticed some other specific terminologies recently that people have been told is their diagnosis. Does this mean that there is some consensus emerging on sub-types, or is it something new emerging where neuro's are labelling parkinsonisms in a descriptive way, or are these old labels that somehow I have not noticed before? Do we get labelled with a parkinsonism rather than PD because we don't fit into the mould tightly enough..... It raises questions for me.....

Just interested to know.........

PS Evonne, hope you don't mind me discussing this. I have a strange parkinsonism label that keeps changing too. And respond to L-dopa.....
