Well it’s not a live video, but you’re welcome! It will be a premiere, which means I will be able to watch it show for the first time and there is a live chat.
Great overview on Atypical Parkinson's! I found it very informative and to the point. I have regular PD and was diagnosed five years ago. Thankfully, I'm still having good control with meds and exercise. I am subscribed and thank you for all of your efforts on educating about this disease. I'm curious, however, you alluded to one of your "patients" so would you be willing to address your qualifications or if you're a physician of some type? Perhaps I've overlooked the information.
Thank you Mary, I’m glad you felt this was valuable. I don’t mind at all, I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy and I’ve been in clinical practice for almost 13 years.
I’m not sure where you’re going with that, but I think you’re saying that anxiety may trigger tremors in a PwP, which is true. And I think you’re also saying that anxiety induced tremors may appear similar to PD tremors. That’s also true. Tremors are a tricky way to look at these diagnoses as tremors are NOT unique to Parkinson’s. Also, up to 30% of individuals with PD DO NOT have tremors.
I was diagnosed with PD with no improvement with levodopa. You have inspired me to make another appointment with the neurologist. Thank you.
My pleasure to help! I hope you can get some answers.
Awesome!
Thank you for covering this topic on a Sat,. Wow!. We will be there. Yay! 🙂

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment Gugu!
Thanks I was diagnosed with psp after several years with Parkinson’s diagnosis
Thanks for sharing. Once you knew it wasn’t Parkinson’s, how did that shift things in your approach to dealing with things.

One of my relatives have this. Curious - is visual snow one of the symptoms associated with PD?
That’s a great question. I am not 100% certain, but I’ve never heard of this being associated with PD
Great information thanks Dr.😊
Thank you Shameem, I’m so glad
THaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you very much Doc!
You’re very welcome, I am glad this was helpful
In early stages parkinson tremor in fingers start with resting tremor or action tremor
Resting tremor. Action tremor would likely indicate a different pathology in the brain. For example, cerebellar ataxia.
Anxiety tremors effect all fingers like parkinson tremors
