About Me
I am 53. It is only since January that I have been seeing a neurologist who at the time thought I had essential tremors. Then parkinsons. I saw her for 4 months then she left her practice. I started with a new neurologist in May. She has said it appears I have parkinsons, but its hard to tell in this short of time. My hands shake at rest, I have internal tremors at times, problems walking at times because of stiffness, all increase under stress. It's getting worse, I can't ignore it anymore, so i'm now trying to accept the reality and figure out what i'm going to do with it.
