How often is parkinsons disease misdiagnosed? I just found out my mom has been diagnosed with parkinsons disease. I know to test for it there wasnt any real way to check for it except several reflex tests etc... but there wasnt any lab work or blood test they did to tell for sure that she has it. It seems like this disease would be easy to misdiagnosed for that reason, that there arent any lab tests or blood work done. Anyone have any experience with this, could she of been misdiagnosed? How often is pd misdiagnosed? Also I dont know if this matters but my mom is a little bit of a hypochondriac, so she thought she had parkinsons disease before she even got tested for it. She knew what all of the symptms were before she went to the dr. because she looked them up on the internet. Do you think that could play a factor in misdiagnosing pd?

AreThese Night Terrors Or Is It Just Insanity? Is This Even Included In Parkinsons? Any Tips? My grandma is 84 and living with (we thought) controlled Parkinsons disease. The night before last night, my grandmother talked in her sleep NON STOP. We would wake her up and she would claim someone was in the room with her or she would think she was somewhere else.Then we would go back to bed, and she'd just start talking again. There were times when she would scream really loud and when we checked to see what was happening, she would claim a man is attacking her. We checked the room, nothing. Last night she did the same thing. And she seriously doesn't stop talking AT ALL. And today, shes having these loud conversations and/orhallucinations -- and shes not even asleep, just awake in broad daylight. Shes also been unable to move without a part of her shaking uncontrollably, and while I know she has Parkinsons, its never been this bad before. Her talking/screaming is keeping us all up at night --- we have thin walls. What do you think?
