parkingsons? that really doesn't fit with your actual full range of symptoms to me.have you actually gotten any sort of second opinion?your symptoms do appear to fit with some level of sympathetic affectation and possible para sympathetic too.i really would obtain a second opinion from an actual neurosurgeon and not another neurologist.Just where exactly IS that disc bulge located?do you have a copy of your MRI results in your posession?if not,get one and read thru it for yourself.most docs are notorious for not telling you everything includued in any given rad report,only what THEY feel is pertinent to your situation,trust me on that one.
i DO think seeing an actual neurosurgeon tho vs yet another neurologist would be in your best interest at this point.they just have so much more real knowledge of the innerworkings of the c spine and the brain and the crainial nerves and the SNS and how many differnet ways it can actually be affected.even a problem within your chest cavity can affect that specific nerve that can cause SNS problems.see an NS soon,really.i seriously don't think,just looking at the symptoms you have stated here that parkingsons is realistically what you actually have.it sounds more like this doc was looking for a diagnosois rather than actually finding the real source of your symptoms to me.seriously,you should not have to be on any actual meds that you really do not even need.have you felt ANY changes in your symptoms at all since you started this med?
taking your report and those films(very very important)to a good neurosurgeon for his opinion would honestly be what i would do if this were me,really.it honestly sounds to me,just from my experience with my SNS malfunction that you DO indeed have some level of autonomic dysfunction to both the symp and the para, possibly.this is what your actual symptoms would look like.also a real good neurosurgeon will do his own read and interpretation of your films.my NS barely even glances at the reports i bring in and prefers to just look at what the films are telling him.any actual rad report is only as good as the radiologists overall experience and knowledge actually is.this i really DO know after having 16 MRIs done over just the past four years.
i really think the parkingson Dx is way off and just a quick way for the doc to place a label on you and move on.see that NS,soon.you do deserve a real,true dx from a doc who knows what the heck they are actually doing.did you actually ask this neurologist just why he believes you actually have parkingsons?if not,do some actual research on what parkingsons really is,all the signs and symptoms,just educate yourself well on this,and then go have an in depth chit chat with this neuologist and have him explain his reasoning to you.if you already know what parkingsons is all about,you will do really well in this little conversation and be able to counter some crap that he is trying to make you believe about your condition.this dx just doesn't sound right at all to me.
good luck and please keep me posted,K? FB
