Doctor Discussion Guide
When you visit a doctor to discuss symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, it’s important to be prepared and have a clear understanding of your concerns. In order to guide the conversation, you might consider bringing a list of symptoms you’ve experienced including tremors, stiffness, and balance issues. You should also discuss if you’ve noticed changes in handwriting, speed of movement, or problems with speech. Taking notes and preparing ahead of time can help make that essential discussion more productive.

Understand your symptoms
Keep your doctor informed about your current symptoms and medications. By using the timelining tool, you and your physician can bridge the gaps in your current treatment regime to address hours of OFF time, tremor, and/or dyskinesias throughout the day
