Ivan, if you are looking for expertise on PD, you are close to some very expert people on movement disorders. Boston General Hospital. We were living in Mass a few years ago and Cecily's neuro thought that she might have something besides PD and pulled some strings to have her evaluated at BGH. The had a program going on another neurological disorder that our neuro thought she might have. After a full days testing ( no charge as I remember ) The neuro announced that he had good news and bad news (he really said exactly that ) The good news - Cec did not have the other disorder, the bad - she did have PD.
