Questions Asked

• Good afternoon. Can the panelist speak about Vascular Parkinson?
• "So how Early should test be administered? After tremors or other symptoms? Thank you"
• How long has this test been available?
• RBD???
• I might have missed this earlier, but isn’t there already a clinical test available that is based on the spinal fluid testing and Kinked alphasynucien about which recent medical article was published?
• Is there somewhere, perhaps an article that is in layman's terms, that describes the new drugs developed to help with Parkinsons.
• Just want to mention that I was in care for Parkinson's symptoms since April 2023, first being told I had Parkinson's, then being told they weren't sure. Following that second opinion, I had many tests including a Datscan, with nothing conclusive.  Last Friday, I was told on the basis of a skin biopsy that I conclusively have Parkinson's.  I am very thankful for the availability of this new test! I have a second condition that confused the diagnosis.  The skin biopsy clarified things.
• "Multiple sclerosis, drop foot, tremors, claw foot, and narcolepsy and epilepsy...Does your Virginia center provide health care for any of these conditions?"
