There is no clinical diagnosis for Parkinson’s. I had a DAT scan. That’s as close as you can get to a test, but even then they have to go from symptoms. It’s fuzzy logic.

Isnt the DAT scan pretty conclusive? What about a spinal tap looking at alpha-synucleon? Or skin punches? These all are markers I believe. Also, RBD and loss of smell of common symptoms. A person can have symptoms, but not have the full disease for many years apparently.
