I'm truly sorry if I have broken the rules, but I think correct diagnosis is Square One and finding out there are and have been PET scans such as the F-DOPA and FDG-DOPA that shed some "light" on amount of dopamine in my brain will help me when and if I have to make an important treatment decision since altho I have been diagnosed by 4 neuros with "idiopathic PD'" the PD meds don't help me. Deborah Serzer had unnecessary DBS because of misdiagnosis. Can you tell me why there is such silence re these scans? I do appreciate your providing this forum - I would never have known about these scans without it.
