Jenny, I understand how you feel, and I also understand how your father must feel. If there were some way to get a Neurologist to see him, he might have something not as bad as he assumes, or at least he could get symptomatic relief if it is Parkinsons. He is cheating himself out of a possible cure, and may be shortening his life. If he works, maybe you could get his employer to make him get a physical exam? No matter how bad things may be, the unknown is worse than any diagnosis. Good luck, hope you can change his mind. [log in to unmask]
