He didn't do any of that because I went to him to check me out for PD. When he asked me why I was there, I answered him I was afraid I had PD. Maybe that's why he did not suggest seeing a physical therapist. I also told him I had issues with my wife, and he probably zeroed in on that too as being a source of my tension.
I can't sleep now. I have twitches in my muscles. I feel some numbness in my hands. Especially the left hand. When I start relaxing to sleep, something jerks. A hand or a leg, and it wakes me up. Now while I am writing, my biceps are tensed to a maximum. They should not be involved in my typing. But I guess I am tensing them involuntarily to achieve fine motor control. These are the issues I am dealing with. And the doctor did not pay any attention to these issues.
Maybe I have some other disease, other than PD. But after doing a lot of reading on PD, all my symptoms match. That's the bottom line.
I was wondering if I were given some PD medication and my symptoms would disappear, that would indicate PD. Am I right?
