How early can Parkinson's be diagnosed? 

I'd like to see an updated version of this talk as hopefully diagnosis and treatment have advanced. Additionally the PD volunteer study should be more conclusive.

At age 82, I was diagnosed as having Parkinsonism by a UK Neurologist. He said he had the answer: the gold standard drug Sinemet. this immediately produced a dramatic improvement but ONLY FOR 1 Day! Since then it does NOTHING. He was never curious enough to ask why. Meanwhile the movement disorder progresses and now 1 year later I can barely walk, my balance and gait are very poor and i have had a few falls. I asked for an Agonist to be prescribed. I got a prescription for Rotigotine. This also does nothing! What do I do next? Dr Luis Zayas in the USA examines why Sinemet may do nothing. Worth a look.

Thank you for trying to seek more definitive ways to diagnose Parkinsons, which right now is a torturous emotional process for patients. I still am not sure I can trust my doctor's diagnosis because dopamine is not significantly helping.

Research should be done on all people who have depression.

I belive I really don’t have Parkinson’s disease no resting tremor to speak of registry very little. Memory problem and balance mild need more proof that I have Parkinson’s like dat scan or spec scan to look for LEWY bodys

Can I be looked into sub types of Parkinson’s biomarkers

Had my share of concussions in my life serious car accident in 1980 no catscan available a few falls growing up as a kid

Don’t have much help from levadopa I feel about the same on levadopa or off don’t remember to take the Med often c/o maybe I don’t have Parkinson’s .could I have a subtype have not been impressed my neurologist all this time. Can I get checked for biomarkers

Have tried many to get into a pilot study was denied every time

What studies are being done with nano-size Aluminum being used in GeoEngineering ✈ Shame if you docs don’t explore this Parkinson’s Pandemic Children under SIX years are coming down with Parkinson’s. When will any Doc stand up & question this ELDERLY DISEASE now in YOUNG people?

Love the accent

try ketosis

In my case, my early diagnosis was essential Tremors that started me on the wrong medication path..that did nothing…as time went by my symptoms execrated
