Hi! I feel your neurologist’s attitude and how you were treated totally unacceptable!! I am SO glad you have an appointment at the Mayo and SO glad you have joined Mayo Connect!!! I strongly believe that if anyone will help you it will be a doctor there. I have RARELY met anyone who has not had a good experience and I have talked to many over the years with all kinds of issues. I would certainly suggest that you call the neurology department at the Mayo now about your future appointment If you are being seen in Rochester MN the number is (507) 284-1005. They suggest that you call everyday or so to see if there is a cancellation. When I was diagnosed last year with PD(have you had a diagnosis yet to determine your condition?) my appointment was a month out. I called daily for a few days and got in a week later. I LOVE my neurologist!!!! He treats me with respect and concern and never makes me feel like I am out of line talking about all of the things I have found out about PD by searching the web. I was certainly shocked and frightened when I was diagnosed, but I am now on Levedopa Carbidopa. My symptoms are pretty much under control and I feel quite good. There is certainly help out there for you. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
