Hi,
I just joined the community and I’m happy to have found you. My father was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I have several concerns and I wonder if my concerns are valid. Of course no one wants to receive such a diagnosis, but several things came up in the visit with the neurologist as well as his pre and post visits with his primary care doctor:
The MRI showed no signs of Parkinson’s. As the doctor described it, it only showed “age appropriate” decline.
A physical test was done and tremors and muscle rigidity were observed. The diagnosis was made. Medication was prescribed.
Previous blood tests with primary doctor shows, “Very low” magnesium, calcium, zinc, all B vitamins and several other vitamins and minerals.
My father is on a diuretic, a statin, diabetes meds, and 2 high blood pressure meds.
I apologize if this is long or in the wrong sub-group. Any input would be helpful.
