I’m not sure if I’ve be correctly diagnosised

Can taking carbo levo …if I don’t have Parkinsons cause aggravation ?

I’m so in the dark ..I haven’t had scan yet …maybecwishful thinking but just not sure on the meds …. Ifeel I have something neurological but nit sure Parkinsons

  1. Thanks for your question. Has your doctor ruled our Parkinsons? there is no single test that can diagnose Parkinson’s disease (PD). If PD is suspected, the person should be referred to a neurologist specially trained in movement disorders who can assess for signs and symptoms of the disease. The exam usually involves questions about the person’s history followed by a neurologic exam. Sometimes, if you respond well to levodopa, that supports a diagnosis of PD. If you think the levodopa is making you feel aggravated, I suggest you talk to your doctor, if you haven't already. Warmly, Kathy (Team member)

  2. I’m waking each morning early with small anxiety glitch in gut ..then I get the restless legs ..thought feel diistant … then I start getting thr restless legs need to get up out of bed ….
