It wasn’t that long ago that I heard the word Parkinsonism. What is that? Is that what I have? Why am I just now hearing this term? It turns out that a couple of friends were reassessed and found to have a different, but related, diagnosis than Parkinson’s disease. Each had a different variant of PD. There are several conditions that have similar symptoms as PD. They fall under the umbrella term of Parkinsonism. It is very important to get the correct diagnosis in order to get the appropriate treatment.
In this episode, Dr. Holly Shill, a Movement Disorder Specialist takes us through each of the Parkinsonism conditions, what are the symptoms, how to get an accurate diagnosis and how to treat each. We had a very interesting conversation on this topic. Take a listen.
