The Parkinson umbrella is quite wide. There are those who are diagnosed as PD-35% of whom are misdiagnosed. Then there is a group called PD+. PD+ includes: Multiple Systems Atrophy-Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy Striato-Nigral Degeneration and Shy-Drager Progressive Supranuclear Palsy is another +er. There are others, I believe. Each w/its own profile, each more serious-if you can believe it-than PD. Also under the PD umbrella are those who remain undiagnosed-sort of the lost souls because few know they're there. I hope that whatever you seek to identify will be answered for you quickly-with rapid medical assist. The List Family is loaded with information, and you can count on mucho support. I wish you well. In the meantime, if I can be of any assist, please let me know.
