Hello @foundryrat743

Your post speaks to the need to persist when you have a myriad of neurological symptoms that evade a diagnosis. I admire your persistence. It is especially good that you were willing to move to an area that had more sophisticated medical centers with more specialists. Not everyone is able to make that kind of a move.

I'm glad that Sinemet has helped you. Once you find a new specialist in your area perhaps you can ask for a referral for physical therapy for PD patients. Have you had any physical therapy yet that is specific for PD?

I look forward to hearing from you as you continue to look for answers from an ophthalmologist as well as your neurologist. Will you post again?

Yes, Teresa, I just finished several months of physical therapy! I had been slowing down, with my walking, taking smaller steps, and a hunched over posture. I cseemed unable to speed up my walking, where I would have a more normal gait! The hospital here has an excellent neurological rehab program. My Neurologist referred me to a balance and neuroplastic walking/training reprogramming planned physical therapy regimen. I was surprised! I decided to persevere, in spite of some of the difficult exercises. The program worked for me, and I continue to follow exercising, with You Tube videos, posted from The Parkinson’s foundation! Remarkably, I an able to walk almost normally again, where I can speed up if I have to, and feel that I have better control of my ability to ambulate better! Thank you for your continued interest in my journey of living with Parkinson’s Disease!
