Hi Baldy,

There are a few different diseases that are referred to as "Parkinsonisms." Another term that you may hear that means essentially the same thing is "Parkinson’s Plus."

I recently blogged about this at http://myparkinsonsinfo.com/index.php?p=182
There are some good links there, too.

The world of neurology is arguably the most complex area of medicine. There are actually quite a few diseases that share symptoms with Parkinson’s. Sometimes it takes the very bright and diligent neurologists some time to diagnose people. Email me if you want to follow-up. Thanks!
