I disagree with the statements declaring there is no test for Parkinson’s. I was diagnosed with PD after being tested, at UCLA, with computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging.
As far as I know, this the only way to positively diagnose PD.

Had it not been for his failure to act against Bin Laden we would not have had 8 years of George Bush. Did Bill like his tea on occasion. (I and most of like mine…) Bill Clinton’s legancy would be one of one of the best Presidents if not for his scandals, failure to act with force when needed against America’s enemies, and his connection to the possible Chinese Intelligence bribes for computers and the Fabian Socialists penetrations of American sphere of influence. Clinton like Tony Blair is a Third Way/Communitarian Fool. Both Blair and Clinton’s stars are falling fast. I feel sorry for President Clinton because I think he is an otherwise decent American who lost his way on the way to power… I hope he does not have PD, what a terrible thing to wish on anyone! By the way, did anyone notice that BJ artist extrodinaire Monica Lewinsky recently graduated from the Fabian Society’s London School of Economics…

I agree that he does not have PD. His facial exam shows no facial masking, diminished blink rate or brow features of PD. His voice is without tachyphemia, hypophonia or monotonus features. He has an action tremor and not a pill rolling rest tremor. This rumor should be put to rest. He has a benign age-related action tremor and not PD.

“It cannot be true that Bill Clinton was “tested” for Parkinson’s Disease. There is no test for Parkinson’s.”

Aren’t you being overly literal? There are a number of diagnostic procedures neurologists perform to try to pinpoint the disease. Clinton probably meant he was “examined.”

It cannot be true that Bill Clinton was “tested” for Parkinson’s Disease. There is no test for Parkinson’s. It is diagnosed by eliminating other causes of the symptoms and by whether the symptoms respond to treatment with Parkinson’s medications. Even then, a definitive diagnosis can take many months, as there are other neurological disorders which have parkinsonian-type symptoms.
