Thanks for the support, i'm feeling a little better today mentally. Ill try to keep focused on the one day at a time thing. I guess sometimes i feel as my fiance doesnt understand what is going on, like accepting a couples bowling night invitation, and then i have to reminder her... Overrall though she has been very supportive and has a huge heart. My mother has had parkinsons for 3 years now and about 5 months back it really hit her hard and she basically needs in home care. My fiance will go up and take care of her when i cant, and has helped out more with that lately.

I like the idea of taking my fiance with me to the RIGHT doctors' visits. So far im not sure if ive found one of those yet. Both neuros i saw basically wanted to do the wait and see approach without even running blood work. Went purely off EMG results and in-office neuro test.

I have an MRI reading today of my pelvis which hopefully reveals some kind of fixable abnormality, but im not getting my hopes up too much. I have another Neurologist appointment in 2 weeks with a new DR, that probably will be better since they are part of the University of Cincinnati neurology group.

Thanks,
Steve

"My mother has had parkinsons for 3 years now and about 5 months back it really hit her hard and she basically needs in home care."

My mother had it to. Im wondering what is the link between Parkinsons and
P/N? is there a connection and can it get passed down through the genes?

I guess i should say I havent been officially dx'd with PN and the way my symptoms came on seemed to relate to physical overexertion but dont seem to be going away yet. My mother parkinsons is quit odd also, it almost seems like she may have a form of PN with it. It would be interesting to know if there is a link.
