Long Covid can mimic many of the symptoms of Parkinsons. I believe this is due to the effect LC has on Dopamine in the brain. I have also been ruled out for Parkinsons, but I have tremors and twitching, etc. I take both Ropinerol and Amantadine. Both have really helped along with Sertraline (SSRI).

What are your symptoms? Did the doctor say what led them to believe it was Parkinson's? With that type of a diagnosis I would absolutely get a second opinion.

Stiff gait, fatigue, handwriting has become extremely small, my voice has become almost a whisper, hands are really hard to move (clumsy) no hand tremors, did have internal tremors still do not as bad. My neurologist had me on carpidopa levidopa first trial did not help then she tried primoproxle I am sure I massacred the spelling, neither med worked. Thank you all for responding.
