I am writing again with newer understanding of what my neurologist at Mayo diagnosed. I now know he said that I have Parkinsonism, which Parkinson Disease can fall under. Has anyone else been diagnosed with Parkinsonism? I have sent a message to him asking him to explain the difference further. I am on here hoping somene can help me with this. the diagnosis of Parkinsonism can include 1 or more other disorders, including PD.
Thank you.

On Connect, there is another discussion on this topic. Here is a link for you to read.

Here is some additional information:

Parkinson's is caused mainly by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, while the causes of parkinsonism are numerous, ranging from the side effects of medications to chronic head traumas to metabolic diseases to toxins to neurological diseases. Jun 29, 2021"
