I want information on what to expect on my diagnosis with Parkinsonism and dyskinesia. I haven’t been able to connect with any through your site. When I pull up Parkinsonism, it directs me to Parkinson’s disease, which I haven’t been diagnosed with. Could you connect or give me info on Parkinsonism?

Welcome @jenniferemery, I did a search and was not able to find a discussion on Parkinsonism but @larryh123 has mentioned it in another discussion and may have some information or suggestions for you. Hopefully other members with some experience will also have some thoughts or suggestions to share with you.

I was not familiar with the condition but found the following information on Parkinsonism.

"What is the difference between Parkinson and parkinsonism?

Parkinson's is caused mainly by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, while the causes of parkinsonism are numerous, ranging from the side effects of medications to chronic head traumas to metabolic diseases to toxins to neurological diseases. Jun 29, 2021"
