Hi Anita

When you are looking for a neurologist to treat Parkinson's, a movement disorder specialist is your best choice. This group of neurologists have special training in Parkinson's as well as several other disorders. You do not mention the state where you live, however, a teaching hospital, medical school or other multi disciplinary health center (like Mayo Clinic) would undoubtedly have movement disorder specialists on their staff.

Could you share a little about your history with PD? How long ago were you diagnosed? What is your most difficult symptom right now?

Thank you for asking, I have been diagnosed a few months ago and I try not to put every problem I have under the "Parkinson" label because I don't want to focus on the negative things in my life but I feel sure that my issue of swallowing has to do with my PD.
I also know that there is not much can be done about any of this but it feels comforting to talk to others so thanks so much for being there.
