Hello! It’s a little scary when you get that diagnosis! I assume it was your Neurologist that told you it was likely PD? Did he start you on medication? I was just diagnosed 3 months ago, and I’ve been trying to learn about the disease from various resources. If you can watch YouTube, there is a Davis Phinney Foundation that is focused on Parkinson’s Disease. They offer videos from doctors and medical professionals, webinars, panel discussions, etc. It’s an excellent resource. It you use AI for information, it’s very good too! I use ChatGPT to look up allot of information, I find it useful as well. I would say that you should be doing allot of reading and learning! Don’t panic!

Yes, my neurologist said it’s likely PD and prescribed the l-dopa replacing medication to see if it affects the tremor. He said if the medication reduces the tremor then it’s most likely PD I’ve been doing a lot of reading and yes, I use AI which I found very useful. I was disappointed that there aren’t more solutions to the various symptoms of Parkinson’s.
