My name is Debra, I'm 56. I was diagnoised with Parkinson's Disease in 2006 with the only symptoms being a tremor in my left hand and weakness in my left arm and left leg. I noticed after I was started on different PD meds I started developing severe side effects such as difficulty walking, stiffness, headaches, nausea and pain. I had several MRI's and CAT scans which showed that I had two mini-strokes in the past. I often wondered if I may had a stoke and not PD because I feel so great now. I can walk good, no tremors or headaches or pain.
