I'm seeing a PD specialist Monday for treatment. I do know I don't have ET, Tardive (sic) dyskinsia, and other related illnesses. Since my symptoms are whole body, not brain area located, my physcian feels another CT scan would do me no good for tumor. (I've had two already for migraines and am deadly allergic to the dye.) That's one of the reason's he got me in to see the Movement Specialist so quickly. I'm affected in my hands, feet, hips, eyes, mask in face, etc as listed below. 2 people noticed it in my voice, including my neuro's secretary, but I don't. Right now I'm just scared as this has been creeping on, I didn't notice until now, and now I can't do regular stuff for myself like fingernail polish. I do have a strange phenomena. I only sleep 4 hours at a time. Period. Weird,huh? Thanks so much for caring.
