273955 tn?1196448802 Last year it was suggested that I have MS due to 4 lesions in my brain and a couple on my spinal cord. I have been on Betaseron for this. I have had leg numbness and tingling since last year. Evey now and then I will get other symptoms such as hand tingling, swallowing issues, pain, anxiety, etc. I am also on low dose Zoloft for the anxiety. This past week I have noticed slight trembling in my hands and some muscle twitches in my legs. Is this MS or do I have Parkinson's Disease.
Avatar f tn Hi Cessy and welcome to our little MS community, Diagnosis Parkinson's in a someone in their 30's would generally be classed as early onset Parkinson's and because of the rarity of Parkinson's for that age group, misdiagnoses would definitely be a possibility. I've actually read statistics that put the misdiagnosis rate as high as 1 in 5 in general for Parkinson's.
Avatar n tn I really hate to say this, but those are early signs of Parkinson's Disease. I have listed the "checklist" of early warning signs below. I hope this is not the case, but the earlier it is diagnosed the better, When a reader of my blog asked about the early warning signs of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), I was caught off guard. I know what full-blown PD looks like, but I’d forgotten what PD might look like before it may even be diagnosed.
Avatar n tn The latest research on pathogenesis of disease can be a prior head injury. Exposture to toxins, and Parkinson's disease causes neuropsychiatric disturbances, which include mainly cognition, mood and behavior problems and can be as disabling as motor symptoms. I don't see any connection with PD and hypertension. Its a neurological disorder. Hypertension and high cholesterol is a cardiovascular disorder and are correlated. Thanks for your question...
Avatar n tn Re my inquiry March 19th regarding a75 year old female whose head bobbed almost constantly at times, you replied it might indicate Parkinson's Disease and asked if there were any other symtons such as trembling of the hands. Trembling of the hands is not really noticeable but I did observe when she was holding a sheet of paper a slight movement.
Avatar m tn Many people associate essential tremors with Parkinson's disease, but the two conditions differ in key ways: Timing of tremors: Essential tremor of the hands usually occurs when you use your hands. Tremors from Parkinson's disease are most prominent when your hands are at your sides or resting in your lap. Associated conditions: Essential tremor does not cause other health problems, but Parkinson's disease is associated with stooped posture, slow movement, and shuffling gait.

Avatar f tn I had a macroadennoma removed in 06 just as i was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. As a result of the acromegaly i have had 3 knee replacements this past 12 months (one failed). I am experiencing incredible stiffness and rigidity in my legs and discomfort in my thighs and feet also. As well as the above health issues it also appears i have hypothyroidism.
Avatar m tn https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11970808 is someone's habit learning ability affected by parkinson's disease? I think the comment in this link is saying that it was affected initially but they were still able to learn habits despite having Parkinson's; is that right?
Avatar n tn Hi, Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder. Tremors, rigidity, slow movement (bradykinesia), poor balance, and difficulty walking (called parkinsonian gait) are characteristic primary symptoms of Parkinson's disease.There is no particular age for the occurance of the disease . There have been cases diagnosed with the disease at the age of 18. Please consult a neurologist for further details .
Avatar f tn My mother aged 60 yrs suffering from dizziness while sitting or standing and imbalance during walking from last two months. She also sometimes has slurred speech and lack of coordination and nausea/vomiting . Her BP, hemoglobin and sugar is normal. Initially treated by a ENT specialist for 15 days and a audiogram test was also done. Test was normal with minor hearing loss in left ear. Even after 15 days of medication no improvement took place. Then she was referred to neurologist.
Avatar f tn Head trauma can cause and exacerbate Parkinson's disease. You do not have to hit your head on an object (steering wheel, windshield) to injure the brain. Even at moderate rates of speed, traumatic brain injuries can and do occur. Three separate processes work to injure the brain: bruising (bleeding), tearing, and swelling. Parkinson's may be suspected in patients with the following symptoms: Slowness and difficulty of movement.
Avatar m tn Thank you friend for your comment.Iam thinking about that because my mother suffers from Parkinson's and has become in the last stage of the disease, although the symptoms began only seven years ago.
Avatar f tn I am really scared.I need to know what my chances are when it comes to Parkinson's Disease. My grandmother's sister had it and my Rheumy found a tremor in my upper body that is more severe on my right side. I also have muscle spasms in my legs. I have had pins and needles sensations in my hands and other symptoms, however since my mother told me this information about Parkinson's, I have become really anxious about the whole thing. Can someone please help??
1763947 tn?1334055319 If it's any encouragement, my original neuro, who I recently saw on a follow up, said that there's a great deal of research out there looking for the cause of MS. He has many MS patients and keeps up on the latest. He said there are many in the field who believe it has an infectious trigger and are trying to find it, so far without success. Others are looking for a genetic basis for the immune dysfunction.

NSAIDs (and acetaminophen to a lesser extent) can damage the kidneys. If you have kidney disease, talk to your doctor about pain reliever safety.

Avatar n tn Good night, For the past two months, I've had a temperature of 102+ degrees. Last Wednesday, I started displaying flu symptoms, i.e. a runny right side (however, the left nostril became very tender and sore), headache, joint pains and fever. Yesterday I began to experience soreness and tenderness in one spot on the top left hand side of my head. Even if I touch the hairs in that area, it pains a lot.
Avatar f tn I've had many Parkinson's Disease symptoms lately such as tremors, loss of concentration, light-headedness, feeling unbalanced when I'm standing up, and slowed movements. I'm barely turning into a teen soon and am scared to tell my parents. I don't know for sure if I do have Parkinson's because I haven't gone to the doctor about it or talked about it with my family. I would really appreciate any advice and help with this matter. Thank you.
Avatar n tn Saw on WEB MD it's likely not Parkinson's... this is from their site: "Essential tremor differs from the tremor caused by Parkinson's disease in the following ways: Essential tremor may affect the head and voice. Head tremor is uncommon in early Parkinson's disease. Essential tremor is almost always worse when the affected part of the body is in motion than when it is at rest.
Avatar m tn Hello, I'm am 29 years old, and i seem to be going through something wierd in my life, it all started with twitch in my middle finger, it soon progressed into a slight tremor in my left hand, i noticed it when I was drinking a beer.
Avatar f tn If parkinson's disease runs in my family, exactly what does that mean? My grandmother's sister on my mom's side had it, and my Rhuemy said that I have a tremor that is probably worse on my right side. How much of a chance do I have of having the disease. I am 41.
Avatar n tn I am 79 years old and in good health. However, for about a year I have had problems in balance in spite of daily walks and a long period of physical therapy. Do I have Parkinson's disease, in spite of none of the 'classic' signs, and would one of the dopamine derivatives do me any good? Am I developing a "neural disease?" My parents lived over 100 years and neither died of dimentia or Alzheimer's.
Avatar f tn Agent orange has been llinked to Parkinson's Disease. Could essentoa; tremors be linked also?
