Do I have psp?

[Bellaismydog]

I am Canadian. I need the name of a doc with experience with psp to confirm the diagnosis. Anyone know a doc in Canada?

Hi there the best advice is go on the web Mayo Clinic, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy short for psp, it will go into detail symptoms, some have a few others have many, you need to go to a Doctor Specialist trained in neurology, normally they can tell in your eyes, and most do a brain scan to see if there is shrinkage, wish you the best.

Thank you Nettie! I will proceed locally ( Ontario ) and let you know.

Totally agree. You nat need to ask for a neurologist that specializes in Psp.

We went to Mayo and to Dr O’suilleabhain’s in Dallas which is in my opinion an excellent doctor and he diagnosed my husband with PSP. It is worth it to see him.

[Boyce3600 in reply to Pavaga]

hi. may I message u privately regarding the Dallas doctor?

[Pavaga in reply to Boyce3600]

Indeed.

[Boyce3600 in reply to Pavaga]

ok i forget how to do that. i have only done it once or twice and it's been a while... do u know how?

[Pavaga in reply to Boyce3600]

I just sent you a message

[Bellaismydog in reply to Boyce3600]

Dallas is too far for me. I am from Ontario and need help locally.

[Bellaismydog in reply to Pavaga]

The mayo and Dallas are far away. I am from Ontario and would like help locally.

Thanks. I have contacted psp society to inquire about specialists near mevv

Let us know how it goes, Bella. Another option is to contact the neurology department of the nearest university teaching hospital to you. Our neurologist was at the University of BC Centre for Brain Health.

Good luck!

Dr. Ali Rajput, renowned Parkinson Neurologist in Saskatoon, diagnosed my husband’s PSP. Originally he thought it was Parkinson but after checking his eye movement and knowing my husband was falling daily, confirmed it is PSP.

If you are in Alberta, the movement disorders clinic at u of c is more psp focused than anyone in edmonton.

We live on the west coast and after seeing two other neurologist that had no idea and then after many months of waiting got in to University of British Columbia to the head neurologist and was diagnosed right away.

Good luck

If you are in or near Toronto, your doctor can refer you to either the The Jeff and Diane Ross Movement Disorders Clinic at Baycrest or the Movement Disorders Centre at Toronto Western Hospital. There is a two-year waiting list for the Toronto Western but you can ask to be put on the cancellation list and keep phoning to ask if there is a cancellation. My husband, who has PSP, got in in 14 months.

Dr Carmela Tartaglia at the UHN (Toronto Western) she is a specialist with Atypical Parkinsons (PSP,CBD,MSA)

She and her team there are amazing.

Hi Bella just thinking of you have you had a chance to go see a neurologist at times it takes a while to even get a appointment, hope your doing ok. Nettie

[Bellaismydog in reply to Tttp]

Dr tartaglia is a good pick. I think I am in two of her studies.

[Bellaismydog]

Hi Nettie

I have seen a neurologist twice and see him again on the ninth. I will ask him to be definitive.
