Subject: International contact for sure diagnosis I'm 44, and 6 years have slight parkinsonian simptoms, mainly in right arm, and some speech difficulty. Since 1995 I take Sinemet CR. This year I changed my neurologist, and the new one diagnosed me with MSA ( striatonigral degeneration). I have several CT, MRI, SPECT and PET scans, but there are nothing exact on the pictures . Hungarian doctors usually do not try to find a final diagnosis ( PD, PD+, MSA ), because they say: the treatment(medications) the same. But the future life conditions not the same, and I'm too young. So, I have 2 questins: 1: How to find the exact difference between PD and other PD like diseases? What I need for sure diagnosis? 2: Would you recommend me a clinic, a team, or a person in Hungary or anywhere in Europe, specialised on PD, for second opinion, and diagnosis, and of course for optimal, long term treatmet. I really need help, please, give me a suggestion. (Sorry for my English...) Sandor | |
