Parkinson’s Disease Misdiagnosis

My good friend was diagnosed with PD but had no tremors, still driving, participating in social activities. Sinemet didn’t seem to make a difference with occasional focus issues. He’s 80. Finally got in with Mayo Dr. who said if anything he has a nickel’s worth of Parkinson’s. They are doing other Neuro tests. Do get a second opinion from very experienced neurologist with movement disorder testing and scans.

Hello @mamasmeeve,

That is an interesting term, "nickel’s worth of Parkinson’s." Do you know if this was this meant to describe a mild case of PD?
