and guess what? he says I am improved since our last visit 4 1/2 years ago, when I was ON MEDS. On the PD sclae I was a 7 and this visit I was a 5. He wasn't the doc to diagnose me, either. So I asked him if he thought it could be "something else". He was agreeable to that; it's not MS, ALS or as far as he could see any particular degnrative disease. Huh?
He wnet on to describe the channels in my brain and neurons at the mitochondiral level...kind of lost me. But in the end, wants me (if I wnat to) try magnesium & calcium at bedtime. In the shock of this, I didn't ask many questions, so have sent him an email.
He did the fingertapping, toe tapping, pushed me to check my reflexes and said it looked good. The secondary symptoms baffled him, like the voice, urinary, sense of smell, stiffness, etc....
Baffled? I am baffled, to say the least. 8 yrs I've been thinking this is PD, my health has definitely deteriorated. Not sure what to think.
