Q: Possible parkinsons at 16 ?

So if i just lift my hand up and hold it still. It shakes like crazy, infact, my hands are ALWAYS shaking pretty bad.

Also my voice is ultra deep and slow so some people find it hard to understand and sometimes I get words wrong and they blur out like crap.

I also notice I slump foward sometimes, if that means anything ?

My uper back/shoulders get hurt VERY EASY and i feel a sharp pain if i just live up objects like shopping bags to long.

I dont know if any of that means anything, but do I have parkinson desease, im only 16 but o.O

Thanks

PD vs ET

hey there ... you probably need to be seen by a neurologist. There is another condition called essential tremor that sometimes gets a bit confused with parkinsons disease. ET is more common in the younger person.
