Possible Parkinson’s Disease Misdiagnosis?
I am 74 years old and I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 at the age of 69 years old and I still do not have any symptoms of the disease, no constipation, tremors, pain, I do feel dizzy often and fatigued and blurred vision at times but I am sure that the blurred vision is not due to a disease like Parkinson’s disease. I have no tremors at all, I do not have any problems with my bowel movements.
My neurologist said it could be a disease that is similar to Parkinson’s disease. What could that disease possibly be to mimic the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease? I think he was lying to me about the diagnosis and the disease. Or else he made a mistake in his diagnosis and he sounded like he was trying to come up with something that sounded logical, which it didn’t make sense to me.

Exercise that keeps us in reasonably optimal form in balance, strength, flexibility and heart health is critical to keep off PD; even elite athletes in non-contact sports invite PD more if not active. Of course it would vary from person to person and therefore YOUR "optimal" is what You know-and-want.
Do I want an optimally physically healthy body?
Well everything we do in life costs Time, a fixed asset. I am therefore satisfied with a less-than-optimal body because I want to spend my life on matters I find worth pursuing. In my 80s, I have my choices different than when I was a different person -- in my preferences. You get the idea! Bon voyage!
