@booplagirl3 I am so scared. My 39 year old son is diagnosed with atypical Parkinson’s. We have an appointment in November. They only mentioned a few days and some tests could be performed in our hometown. Alex is not doing well at all. He has severe tremors and is currently taking huge amount of levadopa (2500 mg). What if they can’t provide some sort of relief?

Hello @alexsmom,

It is so easy to worry, especially when a child is ill. As you know, Mayo Clinic has a stellar reputation for diagnosis and treatment, and you will undoubtedly get some helpful information.

When did your son's symptoms begin?
