Have you got Parkinson’s symptoms but have had a DAT Scan performed that has proven normal?

I am in this situation! I am unsure of what the implications of this are as the scan shows no degeneration of the dopamine transport system, which would indicate Parkinsons. Has anyone been in this situation and can advise?

Parkinson’s disease isn’t the only condition that produces such symptoms.
Occult disease of the substantia nigra and other subcortical structures can cause PDX symptoms. So can so-called "designer drugs", including Ecstasy.
Talk to your neurologist.
