  • Summary

  • Herb Williams
    About 2 years ago, I received a life-altering diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease. The treatment, primarily Carbadopa-Levadopa however, wasn't effective, leading to a hospitalization. This experience prompted me to seek a second opinion, which revealed a different culprit: Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).
    I am now trying to spread the word about PSP and doctors misdiagnosing. You can help me by telling others my story.
    You can empower yourself:
    * By spreading awareness and advocating for proper diagnosis, we can help others avoid unnecessary treatment and navigate the path towards better management of PSP.
    Share this information to raise awareness about PSP.
    If you're not sure about yourself or a loved one, encourage seeking a second opinion from a neurologist familiar with the condition.
    As my story illustrates, getting a second opinion can significantly impact your healthcare journey. If you're concerned about you're symptoms, don't hesitate to seek additional evaluation from a specialist.

    Please help!!

    P.S. Additional information:

    PSP is a rare neurological disorder that affects balance, movement, vision, speech, and swallowing. Because it shares symptoms with Parkinson's, misdiagnosis is common. This is why raising awareness about PSP is crucial.
    Here's what sets PSP apart:
    Early falls: One of the first signs of PSP is a tendency to lose balance and fall frequently.
    Eye movement problems: Difficulty looking up and down, along with slow eye movements, are common in PSP.
    Cognitive decline: PSP can affect thinking and memory.
