Do you have any advice or info about parkinson?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Question: My advice is to question everything; in older folks, parkinsonism is very common and can have many causes, including reversible ones, such as side effects of medications...If you are a younger person with sxs of parkinsons, seek out help from a specialist in movement disorders instead of a general neurologist...
