Just a heads up

[AniaR]

you may have noticed my quality of typing has gone down the tubes a bit! It's not as bad on PC than when it is on my phone. But I know people get annoyed when things are excessively difficult to read. I have a neuro disorder that gives me hand tremors and as of the last 3-5 months it has increased. it's cool I am healthy and fine, it just comes and goes in waves and typing one sentence can sometimes take forever if I have to edit all the mistakes and I dont always have time (especially when posting from my phone) when I'm on PC I try to right click fix a lot.

But anyway, just a little context for you. I'm good, just silly shaky hands! And I have been feeling self conscious about some of my posts. I'm even worse on FB, lol.

Haha, mobile typing makes everything go down the drain - I don't even use Tapatalk. And that's not even with the disorder! It sounds like you and my friend have the same thing, and it seems like such a pain to work with :p
I hope that you get better!

Good wishes! I have what's called a "benign essential tremor" that makes my limbs shake and gives me a little bit of a stutter when it's really bad. It get bad/embarrassing enough that I have to explain it to people at times and I always tell them it's one of my greatest blessings because it means my mom doesn't have Parkinson's. My mom started getting really shaky when she was just a little older than me and that was the doctor's FIRST conjecture. Who does that? "Oh, I'm 35 and I'm a little shaky." "Well, it's probably Parkinson's, let's do some tests."

I, for one, would like to see doctors test for Parkinson's more often. A friend of mine developed symptoms in 2000/2001 at the age of 14. She was finally diagnosed with Parkinson's after a five year battle with the doctors who were so sure that it was anything but Parkinson's, she's 29.

Raina, I'm sorry you're having issues *mer hugs*.

Hand tremors suck. I was on medication last year that gave me really bad hand tremors. It was a shame because otherwise it was the perfect medication. But I couldn't hold anything without shaking roughly. I was doing a radio show and I couldn't change the pages of my script quietly because my hands shook so bad. I feel ya, sister.

Oh no, I'm afraid I wasn't clear. I am extremely grateful the doctors ran the test, which they did, along with several others. What I meant was, when she first went into the doctor to look into the symptoms, the GP she saw straight up told her it was probably Parkinson's just in casual conversation as she was telling him the symptoms. That is a huge diagnosis to just throw out off the cuff to a scared young woman who has just come in, especially for symptoms that can be indicators of sooo many other things. Obviously, a test for Parkinson's was the right way to go, but he had no right to just toss it out there cruelly and casually.

guys you kinda freaking me out with this stuff... I'm sorry people went through hard stuff but I'd rather not have my thread just letting you know what's up fill up with scary medical stories given everything I'm going through at the moment. >.> thanks

Sending lots of hugs to you! ❤
