Have you noticed if you have any blurry or double vision?... I have similar symptoms and ended up going to eye doctor because I have pain in my eyes when moving them and then noticed blurry/double vision and tremors and I'm now being tested for Multiple Sclerosis
I have had tremor in my left hand for about 3 years and never thought of as symptoms of parkinson until I read some of the comments and watching your video. Thanks.😊
My husband’s symptoms started in his mid 30s when he lost his sense of smell. If he could smell, things that smelled good like cinnamon smelled bad and bad things smelled good. He went to a specialist who was baffled. He also suffered from constipation for years and as he grew older, he’d talk in his sleep, had nightmares where he’d flail his hands and had trouble staying asleep. We didn’t realize these were early signs of Parkinson’s. But his Parkinson’s symptoms didn’t show up until he was 58. His mother and her father had Parkinson’s but they were in their 70s when they had symptoms.

I have every symtom mentioned in this video, plus Sjögren’s Syndrome which is very closely connected to a lot of individuals with Parkinson's Disease. I would not be surprised if I really do have this. 😮 My mouth dropped when he mentioned shoulder pain because I have been dealing with Shoulder pain for several months and I was recently diagnosed with Rhumatoid Arthritis. I still think I have Parkinson's Disease though.
Hello sir, As a part of routine check up My father had a health checkup and got multivitamin medicines. The doctor's suspected parkisons as he was having some tremors in hand . We frequently observed him showing tremors while resting like during meditation, holding phone...what should be our next step to get him better as of now he's all healthy
I have had some symptoms for 4 years: cold extremities, tremor in my thumb and index finger on my left hand, problems sleeping with night sweats, shingles, and frozen shoulder, fatigue easily. I was forced to retire due to covid. I have no insurance. Do you have any suggestions?
I have tremor in my left thumb & after 6 months or so, I noticed it's in thumb & forefinger. Happens usually while I'm resting, watching TV. I also have just recently started getting what may be Seborrheic dermatitis. I have a doctor appointment in about a week. The scalp condition is brand new & I also (not sure if it's related) started getting sores inside my nose which leaked clear liquid then they go away but return & now only seem to bleed, make that part of the nose feel stiff & very sore. Also, extreme fatigue. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia over 10 years ago but the fatigue is much worse lately. Also, having more frequent urgency to urinate without full bladder & trouble with small leaks especially when sneezing. I'm 53 yrs old. Does this sound like early signs of PD?
Yes. Unilateral resting tremor of the finger is very characteristic of Parkinson's disease. Resting tremors are sometimes difficult to evaluate. You need to make sure that you are really resting. One way is to observe you while walking or standing to see if you have the same tremor or lying down supine with the arm completely resting. You need to be seen by a neurologist, preferably with a fellowship training in movement disorders, to confirm the findings.
Thank you for this presentation, Dr. Zayas. I can usually recognize the slight signs and symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD) well before other medically-trained or specialized diagnosticians/clinicians because I've had experience working with patients for many years with varying neurological and cognitive disorders, including PD. If caught early enough, progression can be slowed. There are multiple things a patient can do to slow the effects of this disabling disease: ROM exercises to prevent contractures, exercising in general, eating neuro-protective and neuro-regenerative foods like adaptogens and functional mushrooms (nootropics) and with cognitive stimulation. Pharmaceutical companies should produce better medication that affects M1 muscarinic receptors. A huge pathognomonic sign of PD very early on are violent or restless dreams. Resting tremors can occur in childhood and throughout adulthood and into the senior years, where they become much more pronounced. That's when you can also start to see the uncontrollable jerking movements due to the effects of demyelination. Shaky voice and vocal cord issues, as well as swallowing issues commonly occur first, as will the "masking" face of PD, where the patient's lack of expression becomes evident. There is a definite cognitive decline, with signs of dementia and almost mutism that can occur early on in PD. Behavioral changes also occur, such as hypersexuality or other pathological impulse control disorders (binge eating, compulsive shopping, gambling, etc.). It's my belief that demyelination diseases like this may be due to genetics; however, like many disorders and diseases, neurological insult can occur due to environmental factors like metallotoxins (like with deodorants which contain aluminum, or by the cumulative effects of vaccinations with metals in the adjuvants), viruses that invade and hijack and dismantle the nervous system (such as alpha viruses like herpes or coronaviruses), as well as bacterial infection (spirochetes, etc.) or post-infectious states secondary to such viruses or bacteria.

That's why it's important to recognize the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease early!❤
I'm 49 and started getting a jaw tremor in my mid 30's. (I have Tourette and I'm autistic) Then, after a terrible infection in my bone marrow 9 years ago, that ate its way through my bones into my tissue. , I started having issues with muscle weakness and gait.. my gait has changed gradually over the years and I started falling a lot more , about 8 years ago, losing my balance, shake weak legs , to the point I walk with a stick due to falls. In the last three years , my gait has slowed, and I'm now shuffling a lot more . Both feet often turn in the way, and I often place the ball of my feet first. I get intermittent feelings like my face , arms, and legs don't belong to me, like a weird numb feeling.. Tremors have gradually worsened to hips, legs, hands, and fingers intermittently, almost aleays during resting.., I've also been having vision problems with partial hallucinations, like a slight distortion of peripheral vision , which is frightening and distance vision, slight hallucinations. I have moments where I lose sense of reality and can't tell the time and loss of long-term memory. (My G.P thinks the confusion is caused by meds I take for herniated discs, and tremors are possibly tourette related) which I don't think they are tourette related other than its the same arrangement of brain affected and dopamine in tourette and parkinsons. My doctor has referred me to a falls clinic at a local hospital, which is frustrating as I really felt i need to see a neurologist, as I'm pretty certain I have parkinsons.
@@steviesvideos319 Numbness/paresthesia and any vision changes are serious and you may be exhibiting signs and symptoms of a previous stroke. At the very least, you should be monitored for vascular risk factors and your autonomic nervous system function should be observed and tested. Neurological workup would be mandatory or that would be medical neglect because having a stroke can often mean that more could follow. I will give you an honest response and one that I say in love: please also get checked for spirochetal infections/disease processes like Lyme and syphilis. I’ve not witnessed an essential tremor in the jaw but all of the signs and symptoms a patient has should be documented and a thorough investigation with labs and imaging should be occurring on the part of your medical provider/care team. It really sounds like Susac’s syndrome or MS due to the optic-neuritis-like symptoms; however, it could simply be a virus that can wreak havoc on the nervous system. If the parasite that causes the virus is never treated, there will always remain host response. HUGS❤️
Hello. I'm not sure if you are going to see this, hoping to get a reply. I've been experiencing widespread twitching and feels shaky on my legs (occurs at rest). I'm not sure if I twitch or tremor on hands/fingers but I experience it more when using my phone. I don't have other symptoms for now aside from feeling shaky on leg and arm after feeling a tightening or heavy sensation lasting for few seconds. My muscles aren't rigid. I can still move and do tasks without issues. Is this "POSSIBLY" enough to get diagnosed with PD if I only have these symptoms? I'm thinking that the other symptoms might appear later in life.
Everybody has a physiologic tremor, which can be exacerbated by anxiety, medications, lack of good sleep, caffeine, or any stimulant. It is also normal to have occasional muscle twitching, especially when we are fatigued. If you are concerned, see a neuromuscular or a movement disorder doctor to personally evaluate you. This will give you peace of mind.
I have a lot of these symptoms I'm very slow at doing everything I have the pain in the shoulder my mom was recently diagnosed with this. I can't remember anything.
Resting tremors may occur intermittently. Rigidity can worsen when you are ill or experiencing any type of stress, whether physical or emotional. In some cases, symptoms of Parkinsonism may become more apparent when you are hospitalized and unwell, as your brain is unable to compensate effectively. Some non-motor symptoms also fluctuate over time.
Good gosh my mom has every one of these except pain in shoulder (at least not that she’s told me). I’m obviously here trying to figure out what’s going on with her because I can’t get her to a doctor because she refuses to believe something is wrong. Her tremor is severe in her left hand. And she does this weird one with her right. Almost on purpose. But I don’t think she can help it. It starts out as a mild shake of her forearm, then it goes to a violent shake and lasts about 30 seconds. She can stop it if she puts her hand under her leg or grabs it with her other hand. But her legs and feet do a very rapid, tremor. And she doesn’t even know. I asked her about the one on the right arm and she said that it’s just something she started doing and to leave her alone (she’s very very cranky to me). I’m just trying to help her but gosh she’s so mean sometimes. And her constipation is Sooooooo bad that I have to intervene. She walks hunched over with her walker, shuffles, all the symptoms. Does Parkinson’s cause irritability? Does it also cause hallucinations? Or hearing things? She is hearing impaired. We’re trying to get aids for her but it takes a while. I’m not sure if she has Parkinson’s, I’m not sure if she has some form of Dementia, I’m not sure if she has both. But I’m seeking answers so I know how hard I need to push her to go to the doctor. But you see, the doctors do these stupid tests that don’t show anything. Like for dementia. They ask all the memory questions and that’s it. She passes that every single time. I know there has to be more to that testing. That can’t be all there is. She has a lot of memory issues. Doctor just doesn’t see it like I do. Oh goodness. This is soo frustrating.
Sounds like Lewy body dementia. Need to be evaluated by a movement disorders neurologist. www.movementdisorders.org/MDS/Resources/Patient-Resources/Movement-Disorders-Specialist-Directory-Listing.htm
I'm 56 yrs old. My father and another family member, both have tremors in the left hand. I have developed sporadic tremors in my left hand while resting. I also have developed bad hand writing. Its starts off great but by the end of the sentence, its hard to read. I also get stiff in the elbows while not moving the joint. for example, walking. Thoughts?
It could be dystonia, especially the fact that it gets worse with action (end of the sentence). If this is the case, Botox/Xeomin, Dysport might help. Try to get an appointment with a movement disorder neurologist in your area. www.movementdisorders.org/MDS/Resources/Patient-Resources/Movement-Disorders-Specialist-Directory-Listing.htm
My left thumb is trembling in mid December, for almost 4 months now. Only a few days at the start and non-stop since February. I went to two general doctors, one neurologist and 3 physiotherapist. They all completed ignored it and dismissed as 'nothing to worry about'. I even asked if it could be an early sign of PD and they said NO. I'm so frustrated and scared. I dont have the other symptoms yet. What should I do, please?
If the left thumb ~4 hz tremor occurs during resting ( muscles are completely relax) or when standing or walking, then it is a Parkinsonian tremor. If this is the only symptom, then no need treatment since it is not affecting your function. Most important right now if to follow a good exercise program, at least moderate intensity, better high intensity. This is the only thing you can have control besides what you eat. Try to follow MIND diet.
What about for early onset? I’m 36 and in July, I started developing a tremor in my left hand. It happens if my muscles are contracted (I THINK) and it’s not resting. Let me explain…. If I position my hand in supination, it tremors. If I hold my phone in my left hand, it tremors. If I lay on my stomach and lean into my left elbow, my hand tremors or at least feels like it’s going to tremor. If I stand and let my arm/hand dangle (no weight bearing and no isometric contractions), it doesn’t shake. It almost feels like I have a fight or flight sensation in my entire left arm. I do NOT have any tremors in my right arm or legs. Again, I’m 36 and this started in July. It is a DAILY occurrence.
If the tremor occurs only during specific positions (positional tremor), it is most likely to be a dystonic tremor and not a Parkinsonian tremor. You need to be seen by a movement disorder doc, the diagnosis is very easy when correctly evaluated. The treatment for dystonic tremor is different.
@@sandibiagi2962 I’m going to a movement specialist in November. Have you been examined yet? I’m curious WTH it is. Started in July for me! If I totally relax my hand, it doesn’t tremor. But if I contract my muscle or hold my hand in whatever position, it shakes.
Most likely is dystonia-->dystonic tremors (position-specific jerky tremor). Differential diagnosis is essential tremor. It is very easy to differentiate clinically. I have a video about how to differentiate ET from PD tremor. @@iMaGiNaTiOnWpAsSiOn
@@luisezayasmdpt4397The problem with relying on Resting tremors as the determining factor is, there has been research that found in persons with early onset Parkinson's up to about 26% will present with intention tremors first. Developing resting tremors later in the disease progression. This can happen in normal age related Parkinson's as well (~ 60 - 65 years of age) but is seen in a smaller number in this group. So it's important to find a movement disorder doctor that is very thorough & and doesn't rely on the old generalities for diagnosis, like developing resting tremor first & intention tremor later in disease progression. Sometimes it's the opposite. It all depends on which sub structure is damaged first, or damaged more. It's why Parkinson's presentation is unique to each person. Unfortunately we (doctors & scientists) don't truely know what symptoms will be caused by damage to, or more severe damage will correlate to which symptoms. We know some generalities, but there is still a lot to learn!
Are you anxious? Pinched nerve? Any head/neck injuries?Too much coffee? Too many mushroom supplements? Repetitive Strain injury? Torn tendon in elbow? These can all cause non-essential tremor in the fingers. The treatment for non-essential tremor is propranolol 20mg twice daily and 2.5mg prednisolone incase there is inflammation pressing on a nerve. I would still have yourself checked out. You are very young. You want to rule out the more serious conditions like MS, etc. Medical professional in Australia.
I have noticed that fine motor movements are hard to control like brushing teeth , writing text, feels like scribble somewhat looks like scribble as well . The gait problems for me just don't feel fluid almost like a start and stop feeling . I used to enjoy running but I noticed in my late thirties that I would fall if I tried to run at or near full speed . Left shoulder pain both arm weakness .
Parkinson’s disease is not classified as an autoimmune disease. However, immune system dysfunction and inflammation appear to play a role in its progression. More research is needed to understand the relationship entirely. No evidence that having lupus increases the risk of PD.
So someone in my family was diagnosed with Parkinson's and dementia years ago and one question I've always wondered is have they ever looked into chemical or environmental exposure being the root cause? I remember hearing when it comes to certain illnesses certain diets are life-changing and even reversing of certain conditions.. but this gentleman was in his 70s and lived by a paper mill so you can just imagine, also lived maybe a block away from a quarry pit.... and when he was younger he worked in Mills where I'm sure Asbestos and other hazardous chemicals were likely around.. I guess my point is other than paraquat or commercials you hear about that stuff, do you think diet has something to do with it? With all the herbicides and pesticides and things they do to fruits and vegetables unless you buy organic and even then it's still questionable, do you think a lot of that might have anything to do with it? I'm just curious about your opinion on the topic. Thanks in advance!
Yes, the cause of Parkinson's disease is believed to be a combination of environmental factors and genetic predisposition. I make an effort to avoid exposure to toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, and growth-enhancing chemicals used in animal farming, as these factors are likely contributing to the development of this disease. However, Parkinson's disease is complex and may actually encompass multiple diseases. Despite our limited understanding, we still refer to it as Parkinson's disease due to a lack of a more precise classification. Neurology has many unknowns, and this is why medical students do not like it. We have fewer medical students interested in neurology. Adopting an organic diet is a key aspect of my lifestyle. I find it beneficial to avoid eating out and instead focus on preparing my meals at home. This dietary choice has been instrumental in maintaining my health and well-being.
I have severe constipation and lately my anxiety has gone through the roof for no reason. I also sometimes get fast pain shooting through my arms and legs like lightning bolts. I have arthritis in my AC joint on my top right shoulder and so I think most of my pain in my right shoulder comes from that. My doctor already ruled out PD even though I wasn't tested. I do have stiffness in my legs when I walk. Some mornings I wake up with stiff fingers and hands, so hoping this is not a symptom. I don't have tremors. Since I only have 3 or 4 of the symptoms, I'm hoping I don't have. PD.
If any doubt, it is better to be evaluated by a movement disorder neurologist in the same way that if you have a chronic joint issue to be seen by a rheumatologist. Medicine is getting more complex every day, and require a multidisciplinary approach.
I have a sleeping problem, tension and anxiety disorder... Also some types of doubts.. I am 41 year old female... Is it symptoms of pd? I have no walking problems, shivering etc.... Sir, kindly reply...
Not necessarily. You need to have bradykinesia to diagnose PD. Sleeping issues and anxiety are very common problems in the general population. Mild anxiety and sleeping problems are normal in life; we are humans. A little anxiety is good for performing well in life. The problem is when it is severe and affects your function.
Im 30 year old. Im a nurse, im scared im having tremors on my left index finger. I feel tingling on that arm too. But i work nights, and my carreer is stressful. Not sure if I should worry since it can be so many things.
Yes. It can be many things. However, try to see a movement disorder specialist. Nothing better than seeing an expert. Sometimes, you need 2 or 3 expert opinions. www.movementdisorders.org/MDS/Resources/Patient-Resources/Movement-Disorders-Specialist-Directory-Listing.htm
Hey doc. Question im 34 years old. For the last month, I have been having the feeling like I'm weak and shakey but nothing is actually shaking. My blood sugar is within normal range just had labs last week.
@@goodvibrations528 My choral teacher had benign essential tremor in her right hand only. She is now 94 years old. She treated it with propranolol 20mg twice daily. Her only health "complaint" today is frailty. No age-related diseases.
Hello doctor , recently I found out that my boyfriend was diagnosed with 1st stage of PD. He is 38 years of age. I'm so worried about our future. What shall i do😢
I'm sorry to read your comment. I'm 6 years post diagnosis and I can tell you the most important thing you can do to slow progression is EXERCISE...BOTH BODY AND MIND! Good luck, you are about to take the "ride" of your life.
Dyskinesias (abnormal movements) are involuntary movements that occur after years of taking levodopa in the setting of Parkinson's disease. You can see dyskinesia in other conditions similar to Parkinson's disease, such as MSA, but they are different and less common. Tardive dyskinesias (tardive syndromes) are a side effect of medications affecting dopamine receptors. We are seeing more tardive dyskinesias because of the increasing use of dopamine blockers to treat depression, even though we are using more atypical neuroleptics, which are less likely to cause tardive syndromes. I will post a video of tardive dyskinesia soon. This is a very important topic to discuss because if more common than what we think.

Sleeping I ended up feeling paralyzed finally swung arm to call 911
My legs were so heavy quick sand
Arms heavy
Right shoulder pain for 15 years.
Severe pain n weakness both arms legs
Incontinence
Back n forth with constipation
I wear diaper can’t hold urine in
Eyes heavy pain when moving them
I get a jolting feeling in head like a quick pulse felt in body
Tremors worse.
Gait has been bad since menopause

I can usually recognize the slight signs and symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD) well before other medically-trained or specialized diagnosticians/clinicians because I've had experience working with patients for many years with varying neurological and cognitive disorders, including PD.
If caught early enough, progression can be slowed. There are multiple things a patient can do to slow the effects of this disabling disease: ROM exercises to prevent contractures, exercising in general, eating neuro-protective and neuro-regenerative foods like adaptogens and functional mushrooms (nootropics) and with cognitive stimulation.
Pharmaceutical companies should produce better medication that affects M1 muscarinic receptors.
A huge pathognomonic sign of PD very early on are violent or restless dreams.
Resting tremors can occur in childhood and throughout adulthood and into the senior years, where they become much more pronounced. That's when you can also start to see the uncontrollable jerking movements due to the effects of demyelination.
Shaky voice and vocal cord issues, as well as swallowing issues commonly occur first, as will the "masking" face of PD, where the patient's lack of expression becomes evident.
There is a definite cognitive decline, with signs of dementia and almost mutism that can occur early on in PD. Behavioral changes also occur, such as hypersexuality or other pathological impulse control disorders (binge eating, compulsive shopping, gambling, etc.).
It's my belief that demyelination diseases like this may be due to genetics; however, like many disorders and diseases, neurological insult can occur due to environmental factors like metallotoxins (like with deodorants which contain aluminum, or by the cumulative effects of vaccinations with metals in the adjuvants), viruses that invade and hijack and dismantle the nervous system (such as alpha viruses like herpes or coronaviruses), as well as bacterial infection (spirochetes, etc.) or post-infectious states secondary to such viruses or bacteria.
Providers should prescribe neuroregenerative and neuroprotective supplements which affect M1 muscarinic receptors in the early stages of this disease, before radical demyelination.
That's why it's important to recognize the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease early!❤
I'm 49 and started getting a jaw tremor in my mid 30's. (I have Tourette and I'm autistic) Then, after a terrible infection in my bone marrow 9 years ago, that ate its way through my bones into my tissue. , I started having issues with muscle weakness and gait.. my gait has changed gradually over the years and I started falling a lot more , about 8 years ago, losing my balance, shake weak legs , to the point I walk with a stick due to falls. In the last three years , my gait has slowed, and I'm now shuffling a lot more . Both feet often turn in the way, and I often place the ball of my feet first. I get intermittent feelings like my face , arms, and legs don't belong to me, like a weird numb feeling.. Tremors have gradually worsened to hips, legs, hands, and fingers intermittently, almost aleays during resting.., I've also been having vision problems with partial hallucinations, like a slight distortion of peripheral vision , which is frightening and distance vision, slight hallucinations. I have moments where I lose sense of reality and can't tell the time and loss of long-term memory. (My G.P thinks the confusion is caused by meds I take for herniated discs, and tremors are possibly tourette related) which I don't think they are tourette related other than its the same arrangement of brain affected and dopamine in tourette and parkinsons. My doctor has referred me to a falls clinic at a local hospital, which is frustrating as I really felt i need to see a neurologist, as I'm pretty certain I have parkinsons.
@@steviesvideos319 Numbness/paresthesia and any vision changes are serious and you may be exhibiting signs and symptoms of a previous stroke. At the very least, you should be monitored for vascular risk factors and your autonomic nervous system function should be observed and tested. Neurological workup would be mandatory or that would be medical neglect because having a stroke can often mean that more could follow. I will give you an honest response and one that I say in love: please also get checked for spirochetal infections/disease processes like Lyme and syphilis. I’ve not witnessed an essential tremor in the jaw but all of the signs and symptoms a patient has should be documented and a thorough investigation with labs and imaging should be occurring on the part of your medical provider/care team. It really sounds like Susac’s syndrome or MS due to the optic-neuritis-like symptoms; however, it could simply be a virus that can wreak havoc on the nervous system. If the parasite that causes the virus is never treated, there will always remain host response. HUGS❤️
Learnt alot....thank you Dr
Hello. I'm not sure if you are going to see this, hoping to get a reply. I've been experiencing widespread twitching and feels shaky on my legs (occurs at rest). I'm not sure if I twitch or tremor on hands/fingers but I experience it more when using my phone. I don't have other symptoms for now aside from feeling shaky on leg and arm after feeling a tightening or heavy sensation lasting for few seconds. My muscles aren't rigid. I can still move and do tasks without issues. Is this "POSSIBLY" enough to get diagnosed with PD if I only have these symptoms? I'm thinking that the other symptoms might appear later in life.
Everybody has a physiologic tremor, which can be exacerbated by anxiety, medications, lack of good sleep, caffeine, or any stimulant. It is also normal to have occasional muscle twitching, especially when we are fatigued. If you are concerned, see a neuromuscular or a movement disorder doctor to personally evaluate you. This will give you peace of mind.
I have a lot of these symptoms I'm very slow at doing everything I have the pain in the shoulder my mom was recently diagnosed with this. I can't remember anything.
Could we just do a DATscan to rule out Parkinson’s?
Sorry if this is a silly question but do these symptoms be constant and consistent when Parkinson's first start or do these symptoms come and go?
TIA
Resting tremors may occur intermittently. Rigidity can worsen when you are ill or experiencing any type of stress, whether physical or emotional. In some cases, symptoms of Parkinsonism may become more apparent when you are hospitalized and unwell, as your brain is unable to compensate effectively. Some non-motor symptoms also fluctuate over time.
Good gosh my mom has every one of these except pain in shoulder (at least not that she’s told me). I’m obviously here trying to figure out what’s going on with her because I can’t get her to a doctor because she refuses to believe something is wrong. Her tremor is severe in her left hand. And she does this weird one with her right. Almost on purpose. But I don’t think she can help it. It starts out as a mild shake of her forearm, then it goes to a violent shake and lasts about 30 seconds. She can stop it if she puts her hand under her leg or grabs it with her other hand. But her legs and feet do a very rapid, tremor. And she doesn’t even know. I asked her about the one on the right arm and she said that it’s just something she started doing and to leave her alone (she’s very very cranky to me). I’m just trying to help her but gosh she’s so mean sometimes. And her constipation is Sooooooo bad that I have to intervene. She walks hunched over with her walker, shuffles, all the symptoms.
Does Parkinson’s cause irritability? Does it also cause hallucinations? Or hearing things? She is hearing impaired. We’re trying to get aids for her but it takes a while.
I’m not sure if she has Parkinson’s, I’m not sure if she has some form of Dementia, I’m not sure if she has both. But I’m seeking answers so I know how hard I need to push her to go to the doctor. But you see, the doctors do these stupid tests that don’t show anything. Like for dementia. They ask all the memory questions and that’s it. She passes that every single time. I know there has to be more to that testing. That can’t be all there is. She has a lot of memory issues. Doctor just doesn’t see it like I do. Oh goodness. This is soo frustrating.
Sounds like Lewy body dementia. Need to be evaluated by a movement disorders neurologist.

I guess the tremors are usually resting and not when moving or under load? Also what about talking in the sleep.
I'm 56 yrs old. My father and another family member, both have tremors in the left hand. I have developed sporadic tremors in my left hand while resting. I also have developed bad hand writing. Its starts off great but by the end of the sentence, its hard to read. I also get stiff in the elbows while not moving the joint. for example, walking. Thoughts?
It could be dystonia, especially the fact that it gets worse with action (end of the sentence). If this is the case, Botox/Xeomin, Dysport might help. Try to get an appointment with a movement disorder neurologist in your area.

@@luisezayasmdpt4397 Thank you for the reply and info!
My left thumb is trembling in mid December, for almost 4 months now. Only a few days at the start and non-stop since February. I went to two general doctors, one neurologist and 3 physiotherapist. They all completed ignored it and dismissed as 'nothing to worry about'. I even asked if it could be an early sign of PD and they said NO. I'm so frustrated and scared. I dont have the other symptoms yet. What should I do, please?
If the left thumb ~4 hz tremor occurs during resting ( muscles are completely relax) or when standing or walking, then it is a Parkinsonian tremor. If this is the only symptom, then no need treatment since it is not affecting your function. Most important right now if to follow a good exercise program, at least moderate intensity, better high intensity. This is the only thing you can have control besides what you eat. Try to follow MIND diet.
What about for early onset? I’m 36 and in July, I started developing a tremor in my left hand. It happens if my muscles are contracted (I THINK) and it’s not resting. Let me explain….
If I position my hand in supination, it tremors. If I hold my phone in my left hand, it tremors. If I lay on my stomach and lean into my left elbow, my hand tremors or at least feels like it’s going to tremor.
If I stand and let my arm/hand dangle (no weight bearing and no isometric contractions), it doesn’t shake. It almost feels like I have a fight or flight sensation in my entire left arm.
I do NOT have any tremors in my right arm or legs. Again, I’m 36 and this started in July. It is a DAILY occurrence.
If the tremor occurs only during specific positions (positional tremor), it is most likely to be a dystonic tremor and not a Parkinsonian tremor. You need to be seen by a movement disorder doc, the diagnosis is very easy when correctly evaluated. The treatment for dystonic tremor is different.
I have this EXACT problem in my left hand.
@@sandibiagi2962 I’m going to a movement specialist in November. Have you been examined yet? I’m curious WTH it is. Started in July for me! If I totally relax my hand, it doesn’t tremor. But if I contract my muscle or hold my hand in whatever position, it shakes.
Most likely is dystonia-->dystonic tremors (position-specific jerky tremor). Differential diagnosis is essential tremor. It is very easy to differentiate clinically. I have a video about how to differentiate ET from PD tremor. @@iMaGiNaTiOnWpAsSiOn
@@luisezayasmdpt4397The problem with relying on Resting tremors as the determining factor is, there has been research that found in persons with early onset Parkinson's up to about 26% will present with intention tremors first. Developing resting tremors later in the disease progression. This can happen in normal age related Parkinson's as well (~ 60 - 65 years of age) but is seen in a smaller number in this group. So it's important to find a movement disorder doctor that is very thorough & and doesn't rely on the old generalities for diagnosis, like developing resting tremor first & intention tremor later in disease progression. Sometimes it's the opposite. It all depends on which sub structure is damaged first, or damaged more. It's why Parkinson's presentation is unique to each person. Unfortunately we (doctors & scientists) don't truely know what symptoms will be caused by damage to, or more severe damage will correlate to which symptoms. We know some generalities, but there is still a lot to learn!
Looks like you spoke my case 😂 ,I have been fighting this since last 8 years
Hlw ...how are you.
Can i chat with you privately please...my brother is fighting the same thing too
Hi, I am 29 years old and lately my fingers are shaking but I do not have any other symptoms mentioned. Should I be worried?
Are you anxious? Pinched nerve? Any head/neck injuries?Too much coffee? Too many mushroom supplements? Repetitive Strain injury? Torn tendon in elbow? These can all cause non-essential tremor in the fingers. The treatment for non-essential tremor is propranolol 20mg twice daily and 2.5mg prednisolone incase there is inflammation pressing on a nerve. I would still have yourself checked out. You are very young. You want to rule out the more serious conditions like MS, etc. Medical professional in Australia.
Read Brain Inflamed for what to ck
I have noticed that fine motor movements are hard to control like brushing teeth , writing text, feels like scribble somewhat looks like scribble as well . The gait problems for me just don't feel fluid almost like a start and stop feeling . I used to enjoy running but I noticed in my late thirties that I would fall if I tried to run at or near full speed . Left shoulder pain both arm weakness .
I have multiple symptoms. But no motor symptoms. I’m just an anxious person with sleep disturbances after a brain injury.
How about autoimmune disease? Lupus, uveitis, vitiligo?
Parkinson’s disease is not classified as an autoimmune disease. However, immune system dysfunction and inflammation appear to play a role in its progression. More research is needed to understand the relationship entirely. No evidence that having lupus increases the risk of PD.
So someone in my family was diagnosed with Parkinson's and dementia years ago and one question I've always wondered is have they ever looked into chemical or environmental exposure being the root cause? I remember hearing when it comes to certain illnesses certain diets are life-changing and even reversing of certain conditions.. but this gentleman was in his 70s and lived by a paper mill so you can just imagine, also lived maybe a block away from a quarry pit.... and when he was younger he worked in Mills where I'm sure Asbestos and other hazardous chemicals were likely around.. I guess my point is other than paraquat or commercials you hear about that stuff, do you think diet has something to do with it? With all the herbicides and pesticides and things they do to fruits and vegetables unless you buy organic and even then it's still questionable, do you think a lot of that might have anything to do with it? I'm just curious about your opinion on the topic. Thanks in advance!
Yes, the cause of Parkinson's disease is believed to be a combination of environmental factors and genetic predisposition. I make an effort to avoid exposure to toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, and growth-enhancing chemicals used in animal farming, as these factors are likely contributing to the development of this disease. However, Parkinson's disease is complex and may actually encompass multiple diseases. Despite our limited understanding, we still refer to it as Parkinson's disease due to a lack of a more precise classification. Neurology has many unknowns, and this is why medical students do not like it. We have fewer medical students interested in neurology.
Adopting an organic diet is a key aspect of my lifestyle. I find it beneficial to avoid eating out and instead focus on preparing my meals at home. This dietary choice has been instrumental in maintaining my health and well-being.
Talk with your primary and go from there. Don't assume. Good educational material here, though.
I was told i had essential tremors. Not sure what is so essential about them. I have had this for years. I was told i walk likè ì am drunk
This video is makes me sad. Now, I'm worried.
I had the protein biopsy test on 3 spots and get the results November 1.
I will be talking about SYN-ONE-TEST soon. I use this test in the clinic as well. It is good in the appropriate setting when positive.

Iam suffering one side head body hand shaking is it parkinson dease ha sir my age 30
I have severe constipation and lately my anxiety has gone through the roof for no reason. I also sometimes get fast pain shooting through my arms and legs like lightning bolts. I have arthritis in my AC joint on my top right shoulder and so I think most of my pain in my right shoulder comes from that. My doctor already ruled out PD even though I wasn't tested. I do have stiffness in my legs when I walk. Some mornings I wake up with stiff fingers and hands, so hoping this is not a symptom. I don't have tremors. Since I only have 3 or 4 of the symptoms, I'm hoping I don't have. PD.
If any doubt, it is better to be evaluated by a movement disorder neurologist in the same way that if you have a chronic joint issue to be seen by a rheumatologist. Medicine is getting more complex every day, and require a multidisciplinary approach.
I have a sleeping problem, tension and anxiety disorder... Also some types of doubts.. I am 41 year old female... Is it symptoms of pd? I have no walking problems, shivering etc.... Sir, kindly reply...
Not necessarily. You need to have bradykinesia to diagnose PD. Sleeping issues and anxiety are very common problems in the general population. Mild anxiety and sleeping problems are normal in life; we are humans. A little anxiety is good for performing well in life. The problem is when it is severe and affects your function.
Im 30 year old. Im a nurse, im scared im having tremors on my left index finger. I feel tingling on that arm too. But i work nights, and my carreer is stressful. Not sure if I should worry since it can be so many things.
Yes. It can be many things. However, try to see a movement disorder specialist. Nothing better than seeing an expert. Sometimes, you need 2 or 3 expert opinions. www.movementdisorders.org/MDS/Resources/Patient-Resources/Movement-Disorders-Specialist-Directory-Listing.htm
My grandfather had this
Hey doc. Question im 34 years old. For the last month, I have been having the feeling like I'm weak and shakey but nothing is actually shaking. My blood sugar is within normal range just had labs last week.
It is hard to tell. If symptoms do not go away try to see a neurologist for a face-to-face evaluation.
I’m 25 years old and I also have benign familial essential tremor since my granny had it and now it is genetically inherited to me I suppose.
Parkinson tremor is usually most on one side. Benign essential tremor will effect both

Dyskinesias (abnormal movements) are involuntary movements that occur after years of taking levodopa in the setting of Parkinson's disease. You can see dyskinesia in other conditions similar to Parkinson's disease, such as MSA, but they are different and less common. Tardive dyskinesias (tardive syndromes) are a side effect of medications affecting dopamine receptors. We are seeing more tardive dyskinesias because of the increasing use of dopamine blockers to treat depression, even though we are using more atypical neuroleptics, which are less likely to cause tardive syndromes. I will post a video of tardive dyskinesia soon. This is a very important topic to discuss because if more common than what we think.
