I don’t either, and the symptoms of congestive heart failure also fit her pretty well. WHo knows? People I’ve know who had Parkinsons, the tremor was impossible to hide or totally eliminate with meds.
Since we are having fun with this topic, there was a TV station that announced she was dead this morning and got immediately cut off haha. It’s out there, do a search, my dinner is ready. Have fun all.
not all Parkinson’s patients have tremors. My husband only had a small armor in his left pinky at the very beginning of his struggle, and it only showed when his hand was at rest.
The predominant symptom was muscles that wouldn’t “work” right. He couldn’t get up from a chair, for example, in the middle stages of the disease, and was subject to falling and freezing. His legs just wouldn’t respond to messages from his brain.
Stress was very much involved in triggering these, and he also had major problems regulating his body temperature. Heat was the worst!
If H does have Parkinson’s, we have to worry about much more than her physical symptoms - we have to worry about Parkinson’s dementia or Lewy Body disease, which can render her totally unable to make complex decisions, and would severely affect her decision -making.
If she has it, that is. We will have to wait it out before we really know.
