Need Advice Dealing With PD...

I have several symptoms of PD with neurofatigue and severe bradykinesia being the hardest to deal with. I've been waiting 2 and a half years to see a neurologist with another year estimated wait time. I can barely walk and I spend most of my day bedridden. I have no family doctor and I live alone. I've been using supplements (L-Tyrosine and Mucuna Puriens) but they do not seem to have any effect. I went to a walk-in clinic begging for meds but was turned away.

I am asking for advice on how to deal with PD when I live alone and I have been unable to get the medical attention nor the meds that I need. I suspect that I'm not the only one in this situation. Any advice or suggestions would be most sincerely appreciated. Many thanks...

  1. I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I truly hope you can get into a doctor sooner than later to get proper treatment. In the meantime, I shared an article on how PD is treated - https://parkinsonsdisease.net/treatment. I also shared information on finding a specialist in your area, just in case it may help you find another doctor while wait for the pending appointment - https://parkinsonsdisease.net/answers/find-a-movement-disorder-specialist.
