Not Parkinson's

About me Introductions and personal stories

I’ve been thinking that maybe what I have isn’t Parkinson’s for some time now.

So yesterday I took the opportunity to ask someone who knows - & they said no, it’s not.

Now I think I need an official 2nd diagnosis.

Hi Calv

I’ve got Postural Instability, and a tremor & stiffness in one hand. I’ve never had any slowness. I keep reading about the symptoms required for a diagnosis, and it seems that bradykinesia is a requirement.

E.g.
“Bradykinesia means slowness of movement , and it is one of the cardinal symptoms of Parkinson’s. You must have bradykinesia plus either tremor or rigidity for a Parkinson’s diagnosis to be considered.”

Bradykinesia (Slowness of Movement).

Could be Parkinsonism.

Defo need a professional to check you out and see what they say.
