Thanks Rachel, looks like I will have to get 'a la carte' solutions for my 'a la carte' symptoms.
I suggest you make an appointment with a neurologist, a motion specialist neurologist would be best, to get your symptoms evaluated. I’ve had diagnosed Parkinson’s disease (PD) for 9 years and had symptoms for a year or two before that. Now, whenever I’m tired, or just waking up, my right eye tends to be closed and I don’t notice it for a while. I also can’t walk fast w/o risking a fall (I’ll start running and I can’t stop w/o grabbing something or someone). My back isn’t stiff, but PD is an “a la carte” kinda disease where you can have your own mix of symptoms that aren’t quite like anyone else’s. Good luck and blessings to you!
