I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s (4) years ago. Please understand that what I am telling you does or does not mean you have Parkinson’s. Only a licensed Neurologist can make the correct call.The symptoms for me were:
* Unable to sit or lay down. Always had the urge to move.
* Walking was difficult. I would sort of drag my feet.
* Staring into space. Not able to focus.
* Poor Memory
* Constant swallowing
* Pursing my lips.
* Arms staying straight at my sides and not swaying as I walked.
These were the symptoms that were the most troubling. You may be wondering why I did not say that I had "ticking" or uncontrollable movements. I say this because whenever someone hears the word Parkinson’s that think of Michael J.Fox or Muhammed Ali. Well there are many versions Parkinson’s. So once again please do not self-diagnose your condition. Make an appointment with your family doctor and let decide if you need to see a Neurologist.
