I had skin biopsy and received a 95% positive for PD. I feel fortunate as at my first appointment with neurologist I was diagnosed in 15 minutes. I would encourage anyone working through diagnosis to request skin biopsy. Took three weeks for results.

Hello @davemc and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I appreciate you posting about the skin biopsy test. Some of the other members of the PD support group have also mentioned this test.
I look forward to hearing from you again. As this is your first post, please share a little about your journey with PD. What are your most bothersome symptoms, and how long ago did they begin? Have you begun any medication or physical therapy yet?
