Confused

Dawn I understand your confusion. Discussing the differences with your neurologist who hopefully is a movement disorder specialist should help clarify this. Perhaps more testing is needed. Let us know what you learn and how you are doing.You can find additional clarification between the two diagnoses by searching on Basics on this site. Thea DeStephano Community Team Member

Thank you .my parkinsons nurse said I have been diagnosed with parkinsons also its just the wording in the letter that has thrown me .

I am glad you were able to get some clarification as to what your diagnosis actually is.Unfortunately at times the letters sent out are form letters or not clearly written. At a time when a diagnosis is new it is natural to be uncertain. Now that you have clarified what you actually have you can begin learning how to work with your medical team for the best care possible. Let us know if there any way we can help. Thea
