What about muscular spasms as an early symptom? My mom had the unexplained falls very early on, very painful musclar spasm in the legs,i probably didn't notice the eye movement early on. She passed away march 2023.

Can increase of dopomine cure psp.

No. Increasing metabolic precursors may have a very modest effect on Parkinsonism but it does not respond nearly as well as PD to this type of therapy.

I’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s since 2017 and I’ve had tendencies to fall backwards. Sometimes I try to catch myself I haven’t had any recent fall. My first falls were forward or to the side but now I’m having trouble keeping my balance when I’m falling backwards and I also have trouble Moving my eyes from left to right this has been an ongoing problem since I was very young but it’s a real problem now I can’t read because my eyes don’t follow the lines properly and it’s becoming a real problem. I’m stuttering and when I eat, I’m spitting up a lot of phlegm. Is that a symptoms of PSP or is that the Parkinson’s disease that they initially diagnosed me with please help thanks for your help. 0:32

@user-rl2se4bt1q •I have no clue what my diagnosis is given I had brain injury;Due to a medical blunder .Starved me oxygen,dopamine,everything and fried my brain but the backwards falls sideways yes I can’t turn my head to the left ..My eyes are working separately not together.Crutches help if I don’t fall over them but I had MRI personally I was not prepared for the results nether have I digested them my next stop is Endocrinologist as sodium keeps going low and another blood test was up creak -Serum Protein Electrophoresis?I can’t remember if it was high low or what it means 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️😩😩But I was told that I have further brain Atrophy that has hit me in the stomach like a ton of bricks I knew I was ill but this ?
