Parkinson’s and anxiety

?

Hello @doorman

Yes, anxiety and Parkinson's (PD) often goes together. Here is an article about anxiety and PD that may be helpful to you, https://www.parkinson.org/Understanding-Parkinsons/Symptoms/Non-Movement-Symptoms/Anxiety.

On Connect, we have a discussion on PD. There is one titled, Moods and Parkinson's. Here is the link to that discussion, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/moods-and-parkinsons-disease/.

Doorman, Have you been diagnosed with PD and have you had a work-up with a neurologist who is a movement disorder specialist?

I have had a DaTscan which says that it is “suggestive of Parkinson’s.” I also also have a scheduled appointment at the end of June with a neurologist. These symptoms have gone on for over 3 years so far……they all point in one direction. I never knew that this could be Parkinson’s.

Thanks for the link.

I'm glad that you found the links helpful, @doorman. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Will you post again after your appointment in June?

Yes I will….and thanks again.
