Progressive supranuclear palsy
I have just been told about this as a possible diagnosis instead of Parkinson's Disease. Can anyone give me any information regarding this diagnosis? I have red the articles, but nothing is very helpful on what I can expect.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain & Nervous System Support Group.
not that I am aware of. I am waiting to hear from his office/ he believes the double vison is from the PSP.
sory he is sending me to a neuro-ophthalmologist. my appt is Thursday @ 1pm
@pattywelch
It would be nice to hear from you after your appointment, Patty. Will you post an update?
yes I will
i saw the neuro-ophthamologist today and she said that she doesn't know if I do have PSP or not but the only suggestion she has for me is to tape over the left lens when I read. i am still waiting to hear about the appt. I will update you when i get it.
Hello @pattywelch
I appreciate your update after your eye appointment. I suppose that covering the left lense will help to eliminate the double vision? Will you let me know how that works out and if it helps you?
i am still waiting to hear from the Mayo Clinic as to when my appt is should i continue waiting or should i call - and if so whom should i call?
covering the eye is very effective for reading for an extended period of time.
Hi, @pattywelch - glad to hear that covering the eye is helping with reading. As to your appointment, if you've not had any communication yet from Mayo Clinic and you are being referred by your doctor, I'd suggest following up with your doctor's office (to ensure the referral went through, and so they can track it down for you).
I did that and they said they sent everything to the clinic and will hear from them.
