We have another of those nasty neurological disorders like serious mood disorders that lack definitive and quantitative means for diagnosis. No blood tests, X-rays, MRIs etc to definitively diagnosis these illnesses. Instead we rely upon the best efforts of the physician and quite often their misdiagnosis before the symptomology becomes prevalent and self-evident. Then to Parkinson’s from my viewpoint and experiences is a declining one-way street. Aside from the declining mobility challenges one is often not familiar with the many behavioral issues accompanying the advancing illness.
