i would appreciate any sort of insight
that might help put my mind at rest till
my next visit with the neurologist.
for about a year, i have experienced:
-left hand tremor (started in fingers but
now my whole hand shakes at rest only.
walking, playing guitar, playing xbox, it
goes away)
-a volitional yet subconcious movement i
do has been refered to as "pill rolling"
which i do seemingly to ease or hide the
tremor.
-stiff shoulder i cant lift my left arm
beyond 90 degrees straight out to the left
(this i noticed more recently)
-muscle aches left arm
-difficulty walking down stairs, up is ok
not great though
-can't sleep most of the time
-i walk slower than i used to and have
trouble keeping up to friends
and other things too, but those are the
main ones. here's the catch. my
neurologist says that this is not
parkinson's disease, my thyroid (he
suggested the tests) has proved to be in
perfect order, a ct scan revealed mild
atrophy, but not indicitive of anything,
and the kicker of the whole thing is that
i'm 28 years old! ideas?
Do you still have the same symptoms? Have
they become worse or easier? Have new
symptoms occurred for these 2 years? Have
you made any other diagnostic procedures
beside neurological examination and
CT-scan of the head till now?
