"I’m a former Marine, with TBI from 1991. I have a VP Shunt with tremors, bilateral paplidemia, sleep disorders; including hallucinations. Recently diagnosed with seizures, and I have noticed a lot of the non motor or physical symptoms. My hands shack up and down, not rocking. My neurologist asked me to take a few steps down the hall, and because I didn’t shuffle my feet or draw small circles; it was waved off as not PD. However, I am very concerned because my father had PD, which I was informed was not hereditary. While researching, there seems to be a contradiction to this claim. If you were to read the non movement symptoms, I’m about 100% included on the list. What would you recommend? I appreciate what I have read on your website. Thanks"
