It's a fairly non-invasive way to test for alpha-synuclein deposits. It's rather new so I'm not sure all neurologists accept this testing but it's supposed to have good specificity as to typical and atypical Parkinson's as well as other synucleinopathies. We may consider the test if my symptoms progress and we need more information. There's no need at the moment. This site won't let me post a link but you can look up skin biopsies for alpha-synuclein and probably find the info. Glad you're doing well, too! One thing I forgot to mention is that I asked my neurologist about therapy because I wanted to be proactive with my mental health and he recommended someone that is amazing and knowledgeable so that is also something I highly recommend for people. He's helped me immensely. Being mindful is really important whether there's a disorder or not!
