- Ask to see a Neurologist, if you are first seeing your primary care doctor.
- What is the prognosis?
- What are the possible causes of my symptoms?
- What types of tests should I take?
- Are there treatments available for me?
- What is the current research on Parkinson's Disease?
- What is the progression of Parkinson's Disease and where am I at currently?
- Are there any side effects of the treatment option we have chosen?
- Do you have any educational materials that I could take home to reference?
You should come to your appointment with your primary care doctor or your neurologist prepared with your written questions as well as a friend or family member to help you to make sure you understand all of the information from your questions. In addition to writing your questions, you should also write down your symptoms and how long they have been going on for before you go to your doctor's appointment. It may also be helpful to have a complete list of your medical history and current life events or stressors to provide for your doctor. Expect your doctor to ask about the duration of your symptoms and the severity of your symptoms. You should also be prepared for follow up appointments and laboratory tests.
