One for the MDs who watch the list. I have seen frequent reports to the effect that up to 25% of PD is misdiagnosed. On checking deeper it seems that what was meant by this was that 25% of patients diagnosed with PD, actually have PD+ or MSA or something worse than plain PD. Nothing I found indicated that PD was being misdiagnosed over less chronic ailments. For example, I have read of Essential Tremor being misdiagnosed as PD, but not the other way round. So what is the medical view? Alf Adelaide 50 <1 48
