Hello @ my fellow atypical Parkinson-MSA friends. First time I heard about feeling like I was drunk without any alcohol and the foggy feeling in my head and the vertigo which is exactly how I feel. I also have the non-motor dysfunction- constipation, wetting my pants which makes me wear Depends, swallowing problems, soft voice, memory ( short term ) problems. Tremors was not an issue with me. We are I believe the minority in this Parkinson Journey. Hope and Pray that these MSA-Parkinson symptoms are kind to you in the coming months or years. GOD BLESS.

I have all of your symptons plus tremors! My daughter accused me of taking too much medicime since I seemed to be in "a fog". It is good to know we are not alone! One day at a time - I never know how I am going to feel.

It seems to be more common than I thought. Thank you Pammie for asking. I see that it is more of the atypical Parkinson's answering.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. Yes indeed I have the same fogginess have had my glasses checked three times besides and I get very tired after not doing much tho not all the time but some of the time and my balance is not good. Hoping when I get back on a good regimen with my pills and I will feel better because I've had a problem with the manufacture so I haven't had my regular doses like I'm used to hope you get improved in all these frustrating things we go through

Yes, I have all that! The fogginess in the morning isn't so bad if I get enough sleep, otherwise I can be foggy all day! I also have a balance problem now and then, mostly in the mornings but sometimes on a walk with my husband when I worry about looking drunk too!

A friend of mine went to Sainsbury's and bought some wine - when he got to the check-out the girl refused to serve him as she said he was already drunk!! (He also had slurred speech). He was deeply upset so complained to the Managers and explained about Parkinson's. He was sent a full apology, a gift and the assurance that Sainsbury's would be retraining the girl involved and also would be educating the rest of the staff about Parkinson's!

I also get extremely fatigued and have to tackle the housework in short bursts and then rest! I find this most frustrating! I occasionally get an internal tremor. The tremor I had at the beginning in my right leg when I was diagnosed mostly doesn't trouble me now as the cocktail of drugs I take see ms to have helped that at least!
