Thank you so much for taking the interest in my rather mysterious case. I´ll again type my reply on a point to point basis so that it´s easy to keep a track of things.

Firstly, incredibly sad and yet inspiring at a personal level to know that you too have had a long struggle behind yourself.

1. How was your atypical Parkinson´s disorder diagnosed? Was it only based on yourself falling? Also, if I may know, what were your symptoms?

2. I´ve been to endocrinologists twice, they performed their tests, and found nothing. It was at the University Clinic of Frankfurt. Also, coming over to the US isn´t possible for me, right now at least.

3. "vestibular problems like balance? Any foot-dragging? Any vision problems?"? Only vision problems from these. Blurred vision is a symptom that comes and goes, but severe sensitivity to light is one. Yellow light feels so severe as if it´s reddish, and white light feels as if it´s yellowish - I know it´s weird!

4. I´ll push for an MRI of the spine. Lumbar puncture, no, that hasn´t been done either. The issue here is, the neurologists that I´ve seen so far have shown little interest, due to their pre-conceived idea that it´s a straight forward mental health issue only.
