Close Parkinson's Disease
I'm 37, mom of 2 young kids, married & work full time. In 2003 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and by 2006 my doctor started saying MS. 4 neurologists later, not MS and not stroke, I was back to stress and FMS. In April 2008 I finally saw a new neuro specializing with movement disorder patients who said it is too soon to know if I have Parkinson's or not, but I definitely have a movement disorder. I look forward to learning much from the people here at DailyStrength.
Treatments
Close Dystonia
Have had stiffness/rigidity/slowness since 2003- it worsened considerably in 2006 with new middle of the night toe twisting and arch pitching dystonia, then to fingers/palms about 8 months later. I also get occassional neck cramps- but not twisting, just the charley horse kind
Treatments
- Baclofen Working / Worked
- my doc wants me to start it in a couple of weeks (in addition to Requip XL) to see if my dystonia will get better. will see....
