There is no official test to determine if someone has it; rather, physicians conclude it is Parkinsons when other conditions are ruled out and a patient responds to medication used to manage the disease. Recognizing the symptoms important but what happens next? A person diagnosed with Parkinsons often has lots of questions and frequently encounters a daunting amount of misinformation.
