About Me
After a year of doctors' appointments, suffering physical therapy and receiving injections, my family Dr. finally suspected that the pain and stiffness in my arm and my twitching finger could indicate something serious. I was referred to a neuroligist. The neurologist ask a few questions, and told me I had PD. I was so surprised. I thought I simply had a nerve problem and had gone alone for the appointment. He prescribed the patch and ordered an MRI. After adjusting to the medication, my pain and twitching stopped.
