I feel so bad complaining about myself after reading your symptoms. Did you see someone who specializes in movement disorders? I saw a regular neurologist first and that was a disaster. I finally went to a specialist who just treats movement disorders and he is much better. There are some great resources on the Azilect home page. (Symptom tracker, http://www.azilect.com/Consumer/Tools---Resources/Symptom-Tracker.aspx Be careful because sometimes medications prescribed for PD can have bad interactions with antidepressants. Are they sure you are bipolar because I think that there are a lot of similar symptoms that are caused by the PD.View Thread
I am a 58 year old female who was recently diagnosed with PD and am scared to death of what is going to happen to me. I haven't told very many people about my diagnosis and am currently trying to work as long as I can. I have a presentation at work tomorrow with a small group and am concerned that I am going to shake and someone will notice. Can anyone give me any tips on how to "hide" the symptoms when I am in this type of situation?View Thread
Thanks for the reply. My presentation went well and I don't think that I shook at all. I am still hesitant to tell anyone else at work because I don't want them "looking" for symptoms.View Thread
