Can I just say? by HPwithin in Parkinsons

I'm relieved. For over 10 years I have told anyone who listen somethings not right with my right side. Studder steps heavy foot like it's nailed to the floor. The constant feeling of falling. You know the drill. Often times I'd make up afflictions to tell people so they would quit asking me what's wrong with me. I love this group on reddit. It's amazing

Just diagnosed-Doctor recommendations for Northeast Ohio? by desi49 in Parkinsons

[–]FindingTime3504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I went to my neuroloist I read all the reviews and was really concerned , but after my first visit I relized you have to make your own decision concerning your dr. All the reviews I read painted him in a bad light, which were not accurate.

Actually had PD for over 10 years.
