Why Won't My Neurologist Listen.

[72andnotout]

5/9/2023. Please forgive me, but I wish to alter this my first posting here and do apologise for not being as accurate as I should have been. It is a struggle at times for me to put into text that which is important, so I'll go way and make sure it is replaced with a more accurate account.

Below is my Original posting 4/9/2023

I was diagnosed seven years ago, my Neurologist who has since passed, said to me. I rely on the experts when it comes to your Parkinson's in order to help you. You Sir, are that expert. I on the other hand have at my disposal medications that I can use to try and make your life better than Parkinson's makes for you. He then turned to my wife and said. Madam, you have the biggest job of all and I don't envy you. Stressful situations that your husband will find himself facing from time to time will no doubt cause some upheaval. Your task will no be an easy one, but it is a very important one. Hand in hand we have gone together day after day dealing with my Parkinson's Disease, which I have renamed, 'M TOW, aka 'My Terrorist Organisation Within'. So here I am, 72andnotout.😉

"Why Won't My Neurologist Listen." Could be because he has passed?

I appreciated yr honesty in both posts. I like yr attitude too, 72 & not out. Keep up the fight and bless yr dear wife too!!

Thank you, I'm currently facing one hell of a battle, trying to make my new Neurologist listen to what I and my wife have to say. I believe that none of us will learn anything if we don't listen, I know Neurology covers a vast area, but they have to listen, if they don't then how can they help any of us.😉

Kudos! I can learn from you

I hope from my postings here some may learn from what I and the wife had to endure, my battle with my M TOW I have no problem sharing with those here. Like the Disease itself no two sufferers are exactly the same, if my battle helps others to fight their battle,then my battle will not in vain.😉

We should call ourselves "fighters" and not "sufferers", don't you think?

Always remember your the one with the condition not hm

I know it’s a challenge, but you might try to find one that does… even better a Movement Disorder Specialist. It’s important!

To clarify, your new neurologist won’t listen, correct? Your first doctor, the one who passed, sounds like a gem.
