Diagnosing Parkinson’s Disease

WebMD

Parkinson’s disease affects as many as one million people in the United States, yet thousands may not even know they have it. While the most obvious symptoms of the disease are movement-related, including shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking; sometimes Parkinson’s can be very mild or mimic other neurodegenerative disorders, making it hard to diagnose. For those living with these symptoms, it can often be frustrating.
