I was also diagnosed with Essential Tremor initially, even though my other symptoms point towards Parkinson’s. I changed neurologists, but had to wait a year for an appointment and during that year I had an outburst and said things that could never be unsaid. I was terminated for that. The outburst was uncommon behavior for me and a result of a Parkinson’s mood disorder. The right diagnosis would have been helpful. I got the right diagnosis eventually.

Thanks for responding Piglet13. What’s the med?

RLS and PD are quite often found together. You probably should have been screened for Parkinson’s when they diagnosed RLS.

I got RLS ABOUT 5 years before I was diagnosed with parkinsons
