Medical workup including brain MRI, metabolic panel, thyroid function, urinalysis, RPR, B12, and folate levels are unremarkable. A neurocognitive screening with the MoCA yields a score of 27/30. She has a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and mild Parkinsonism. Her current medications include amlodipine, metformin, and carbidopa-levodopa.
