What does one do when they suspect they may have PD and their GP will not send them to a neurologist. I live Halifax Nova Scotia Canada and you just can't walk into a neurologist's office here. My sysmptoms are very stiff arms, there are times I refer to them as dead arms I no feeling in them and they feel like lead. After my third child was born I noticed the craving of sugars the sweeter the better and it didn't matter what time of day. Headaches, I used to take Tyenol # 3 but have found out I have an allergy to cocdine (which isn't pleasant). The last couple of years when I wake up in the morning I feel like I have been on a drunk for days, but after a couple of hours it not so bad. That is if I slept. My grandmother, my second cousin both have PD, they tell it isn't heritdary. Is that so? Can you get an early jump on PD, or should I just sit and wait and let my GP decide. I might add I have a son with Addison's and have since learnt to do my research. Which tends to annoy some in the medical profession. I hope someone has an answer Thanks Debbie
