No medication

Is there anyone who is in the early stages of parkinsons that isn't taking meds? Please can you tell me your symptoms, and if only yourself are aware of them?


  1. Flossyi have been diagnosed about 3 months and i am not taking dopamine. I have the walk and tremors in my right side. hope this helps with your ? i am taking part in Michael J fox PMMI study.


    1. Yes thank you. I don't have any diagnosis as yet,so I am not sure if I really have Parkinsons?

      1. Hi , I wanted to share this article about common Parkinson's symptoms -https://parkinsonsdisease.net/symptoms Please keep us posted on how you're feeling. Do you have any doctor's appointments coming up? Best, Lauren (ParkinsonsDisease.net Team)

    2. Hi Lauren I live in the UK, after my scan in July my next scheduled appointment with the neurologist will be January 24,but I want my results sent to me before that date,which will probably mean by letter. Thanks for posting the link.
      Regards, Flossy

      1. Hi , you're welcome! That's a long time between the scan and appointment. If you need any one to chat with during the time, we are here for you. Good luck at your scan. Best, Lauren (ParkinsonsDisease.net Team)

    3. Hi Lauren if I have to recieve my scan results via post, I will do,I can not wait until January of next year. I know the Datscan results aren't a definite diagnosis but it can help me understand a bit more,hopefully of what maybe going on,if its positive that is. Thanks for your support Lauren. Flossy
