Q: Are These Symptoms Classic of Parkinsons?

Hi - I would be grateful if anyone suffering from parkinsons with the following symptoms, get in touch with me please. I have severe shaking that lasts for an hour to an hour and a half at a time, this usually happens every day since april and sometimes twice a day. It goes from my head to feet and takes over my whole body, the rest of the time I have the usual tremor in right arm and sometimes the right leg. I am on parkinsons tablets and also take lorazepam when the shaking starts. Has anyone else experienced this with parkinsons.

Three major symptoms of Parkinson disease are shaking (tremor), muscle stiffness (rigor), and poor or slow movements (hypokinesia and bradikinesia). Additional and latter symptoms can be: muscle pain, dizziness, memory loss, impotency, unable to control peeing and defecation, face without expression, depression etc.
