Getting worse

Post a new topicby justme on Sun Jun 28, 2009 8:57 pm

I was diagnosed with parkinsons disease first part of last year. I have had essential tremor for many years. I have a hard time getting up and getting going out of chairs out ofcars out of bed. My handns shake really bad. It is hard for me to do anything with my hands. The fatigue I feel is awful. Sometimes I can hardly function. My head shakes really bad too to the point that people stare at me. I am more sensite more apathetic and get stressed more easily. I have a neurologist and am going to a movement disorder specialist in August. My husband helps me a lot. I have come close to falling several time but havent fallen. I t ry to be very careful. My speech is sometimes very shaky. Does anyone else identify with any of these symptoms?
