There's a vid on Youtube. It's entitled 'The Stages of Parkinsons' but they start off by describing the types of PD. It's a neurologist narrating and I was surprised at the simplicity if his argument (and not in a good way). He first cited the Tremor Dominant type and declared that this was the best to have as the prognosis was good. Drat, thinks I (not having a tremor). So I wait to hear my version described (PIGD). He continues: begins with shuffling gait, falls either backwards or forwards in the early stages, doesn't respond well to Levadopa. Lots of balance issues too in the early stages.
I'm surprised by all of this. I have no falls, no balance issues and respond well to Levadopa. I have no tremor. Do many of the community similarly have difficulty classifying themselves and are you just a bit surprised at the simple stereotyping of a neurologist?
