Coarse tremors right arm, now in left and head, jaw, some in legs, very panicky feeling, felt like he had a fever but thermometer said normal. At one point he was so distraught and started weeping. He has had nausea an not eating today. Losing weight too I think from heavy tremors. Today was just a bad day for him, does this disease really fluctuate drastically like this from day to day. Does? this happen often and through all stages?

Have Any Of You Dealt With Cervical Stenosis Along With PD?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'd like to hear your experiences with this. I am finding a lot of overlap between stenosis and PD which makes it very confusing! I am having real problems with leg pain, heaviness, and balance (doing PT for that). It's hard to know where PD ends and stenosis begins. I may need to consider surgery for the stenosis. For now, I hope cortisone will help manage the pain.

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member

Cortisone is a wonder drug. BUT it can harm you also. Live and learn.
