I was just diagnosed with Parkinson's 3 days ago. I'm still in shock although I suspected it. 3 years ago my legs start jerking periodically. Now I'm having tremors on my left side. What's coming next?
I am so sorry that you have PD. It is a shock to all of us in the beginning. However, if you haven't done so already, develop a team of professionals that will be treating you. Examples are: Movement Disorder Neurologist [MDN], Physical Therapist, Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, Psychologist or Social Worker to start with. The MDN will prescribe medication that will try to limit your symptoms. Exercise is extremely important as well. Continue to research on our site for symptoms and treatments as well as research. All the best, Marc M., Moderator, ParkinsonsDisease.Net
