Larry, You will get lots of advice from this list. Let me add mine, get a second opinion. Up to 40% of Parkinson's patients are miss diagnosed. When you are looking for that second opinion find a "Movement Disorder Specialist" And after your appointment decide whither you want him to be your Dr. It is SO important to have a Dr. you like and trust. >I was diagnosed with PD last Friday and I am still in denial.
