Self diagnosed Parkinsons - waiting forever to see a Neurologist

My symptoms closely follow those for Parkinsons. Next step is seeing a Neurologist, but appointment isn't until March! I'm on a waiting list for cancelations. Hopefully will get to see a doctor sooner!
It's so frustrating. I can't sleep. Restless...

  1. Thank you for contacting us. It is important to make your appointment with a MOVEMENT DISORDER NEUROLOGIST, who specializes in PD. Best, Marc M., Moderator, parkinsonsdisease.net

    1. Thanks Marc. I've described my symptoms to them and hopefully they fix me up with the right neurologist for PD.

      1. Great! Please let me know how you are doing. I care. Regards, Marc M., Moderator, parkinsonsdisease.net

      2. Hello, Welcome to our community. I see that Marc, a fellow team member already reached out to you.
