loss of smell constipation REM sleep disorder (dreams so vivid that you act them out) If you don't have any one of those signs, you most likely do not have idiopathic PD, but you may have a secondary form of Parkinsonism. |

I have a definite decreased sense of smell. But I still can smell stuff. I am not constipated. As for sleep disorder. I am guessing I don't have them. At least not when I am able to sleep. Lately I have not been able to relax enough to sleep on my own. So I am trying to cope with sleeping pills. What is a secondary form of Parkinsonism? How is it different from idiopathic PD? I know that idiopathic means with no known origin or definite origin. But I have no clue what secondary Parkisonism is. |

Two sure signs are:
1. Loss of arm swing. 2. You will need another person with you but close your eyes and if you fall backwards, well that's what gave it away for me. Make sure there's someone around to catch you in case you do fall. |

No, unfortunately I found the list via Google and thought I had bookmarked it but it got lost in the shuffle. If this sounds implausible, check PubMed by searching for keywords "presenting and parkinson". I see new conditions linked continually. The latest biggie being Gaucher Disease. Interestingly many of the conditions were once thought to be juvenile congenital disorders and now they are recording more adult onset cases that look like PD. Some of the conditions are even levodopa responsive. HTH I will do another search for that list and post if I can track it down. Laura |
