A good doctor will want to know your history and all sorts of questions will be raised in his/her mind if you appear to be withholding or distorting that history. Of course, the key phrase in all of this is the term "a good doctor." While it can be a daunting task to find such an animal (just kidding) and sometimes you have to just take a blind leap, surely the collective wisdom and knowledge of this list can be helpful to you by recommending a good movement-disorders specialist in your spot on the globe.
