Hiya
My father was diagnosed with borderline parkinson in 2016 and when looking through letters the doctors after that ran with it and tried all different medication on him over the last 6 years. He doesn’t have any of the symptoms after looking into parkinsons symptoms. He is getting worse in terms of losing weight and cannot eat and muscle wasting away. He doesn’t have any shakes or anything but due to just sitting and watching TV 11 hours a day and not being able to feed himself but can do everything else he is wasting away. Its like since he was told he has borderline parkinson and now parkinson they say…he doesn’t do anything .
We want to get a second opinion but we don’t know where to start.
I want to know the following:
- Need a list of neurologists who are the best in this area for 2nd opinion
- Need to know if I can access them privately
- Costs involved
Please can someone guide me. We don’t want to go to private hospitals in Leicestershire as the NHS neurologist consultants we have seen all work for spire, bupa and nuffield as well as the NHS hospital on Leicestershire.
