Hi Tammy,

I am very sorry to hear about your condition, I can only imagine how frustrating this has been for you. I have taken my father from doctor to doctor for years before someone finally diagnosed him with Parkinson's and I can't even remember which doctor diagnosed him. He has been living with Parkinson's for over 10 years. To this day I am still not sure if he has Parkinson's or a combination of something else. He does not display all the symptoms of Parkinson's but yet his body is responding to Parkinson's drugs. I wish you the best of luck. Don't give up, you are stronger than that.
