Appointment prep
Prepare for a young-onset Parkinson's evaluation
Tremor, stiffness, slowness, and non-motor symptoms like fatigue and mood changes in people under 50 are frequently dismissed as stress, depression, or 'just aging.' Medvo helps you describe the full motor and non-motor picture and request neurology referral and DaTscan when appropriate.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, or micrographia
- · Non-motor: fatigue, depression, sleep issues, constipation, loss of smell
- · Symptoms progressing slowly but impacting work and daily life
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · Referral to a movement disorder neurologist
- · DaTscan or other imaging to support diagnosis when clinically warranted
- · Documentation of motor and non-motor symptoms over time
If you've been dismissed
- · Told it's stress, anxiety, or 'you're too young for Parkinson's'
- · No specialist referral despite classic motor and non-motor features
