I have all of these and have
been told over and over that it is NOT PARKINSON'S
Is it essential tremor? I have a friend who has this and appears to be very similar to Parkinsons.
ReplyDeleteGuess you have had a MRI, and that's not full proof. There is no sure diagnosis for Parkinson s Disease, guess you know this.
ReplyDeleteTry several other Doctors and not in the same practice.
Well, then what do they think it is? Do they have any other ideas? Any other tests they can do?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, but I recommend a second, third or fourth opinion, until you can sort it out. I don't know what it's like in any other country, but oh, here in Canada, so often you have to push, push, push to be heard--it can be a real uphill struggle with our doctors and health care system.
ReplyDeleteMy very best to you, sending Universal Light, and hugs too.

There are a few conditions that mimic Parkinsons
ReplyDeleteThe link will take you to the Parkinson Foundation website

Can the doctor diagnose your problem? I hope you can find a doctor who knows and is able to help you.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely get a second opinion!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, the one site I did go to, the symptoms aren't an EXACT match, but how exact do they have to be? This world literally creates causes for new diseases anymore, from what we breathe, eat and drink, to what our parents ate, drank, and breathed. I guess just try and focus on the next attempt to find a cause rather than worry that it might be what they say it isn't...
ReplyDeleteRosie.........Close it is a functional tremor
ReplyDeleteMargaret.......Yes I knew this, it's just frustrating
Rita.....Functunional Tremor
Kea......I can't afford to see another specialist
Jane......I know
Nancy......Been told it is a Functional Tremor
Sandie......I would if I could
Chris..,..,.It is all so confusing
Sure sounds like Parkinson's. I can understand why it's confusing and upsetting.
