Background :

There were symptoms you or your loved one had. After a few visits to doctors (family doctor / neurologist), a diagnosis of Parkinsons has been received by you.

For many families this could be the first time encounter with Parkinsons - in the sense that - they have not known anyone in the immediate family, extended family or friend circle having had this condition. They could have heard fleetingly that this results in tremors of the hands and few other symptoms.

Initial Response :

On hearing the diagnosis one may feel shocked, sad or even terrified. No matter what emotions you experience, there is a very good chance that you have no idea what to do next. There could be many questions swirling in your mind, and you do not know what more you should ask the doctor. You may want to give yourself some time alone and with family and note down questions before scheduling your next visit.

We believe that for these families, it would be good to know what they could ask the doctor/s and thus be more prepared for the journey ahead.
