Patty....I had a small tremor in left pinky at times, lots of fatigue, not sleeping, the heat really bothered me, my knees buckled sometimes, I had trouble with walking and shuffled a lot when I walked, Ilost my balance at times in the office and stumbled backwards daily....my friends at work helped because they teased me about doing something they could not do (walk backwards) but we all knew something was wrong. I was handling it the best I could but kept getting nagged by friends who saw me daily at work to seek further help... I could not stand at someone's desk without losing my balance....looking back these are the beginning symptoms...Ihope this helps you. Good luck...let me know.
