Updates on Progressive Supranuclear Palsy(PSP) & Corticobasal Degeneration(CBD): Tale of Two Cousins

PSP and CBD share common symptoms and pathology, two "cousins" in the frontotemporal lobar dementia family. Dr. McFarland will discuss the features of each disease, commonalities and differences. He will present advances in new diagnostic criteria, imaging biomarkers and pathology, and discuss treatment options and strategies for patients and care partners.

I just lost my uncle to this ruthless disease yesterday. To those who are watching their loved ones suffer in silence, please stay strong. God has better plans

My name is David a Olsen. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2017. My symptoms have been changing since I’ve had the disease lately. My symptoms is when I’m standing still I’m rocking back-and-forth for no parent for no reason at all. I still have some mobility issues I’ve been going to therapy and I’m doing boxing for Parkinson’s but my balance, like falling tendency to fall backwards is still there. I have eye problems I’ve been going to a nuclear ophthalmologist. I was wondering if I was missed diagnosed and I have another question the DBS that use for Parkinson’s they want to do that on me would that help somebody that had PSP, or does that not work for that kind of disease? I hope I wasn’t misdiagnosed. If there’s any information you could give me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do.

The symptoms you've been describing fit the criteria of PSP. But unfortunately there's no cure for it, only symptomatic care, I have seen my uncle suffer so much. It's not at all easy, stay strong my friend, hope there are people around you who love and support you

Parkinson disease is a very terrible illness🤢, my Dad suffered from it for 19 years until we finally got a help and a medicine from Dr Madida that truly works that helped treat, cure and reversed all his symptoms.”My Dad is well a gain.”
