Parkinson's???????????

At present, there is no test for Parkinson's. There are a handfull of common symptoms that are easily found online, so, if a person manifests a few, many, or all of the symptoms, one may reasonably suspect that the problem is Parkinson's. Unfortunately, there are a number of other conditions that produce similar symptoms. A doctor would have various test done ( such as an MRI, ECG, and CAT scan) in order to rule out other conditions. Then a doctor would prescribe Parkinsons medication, if the patient responds to the medication that would be another indication.
