Default you may be very early or not even have it...

Along with that, I stopped paying attention to my symptoms as I have adopted a "living day by day" attitude. My main most consistent symptom right now is leg weakness which varies from severe meaning I am limited to taking very small steps where I can barley walk to walking at about 70% strength on average.
My muscle pain has been sever enough to cut through 20mg of hydrocodone but this hasn't happened of about three weeks now.
One morning when my legs were really weak and I could barely walk, I had tremors that originated from my knee that made my left foot shake. But that only happened one time.
But there may be one thing that may be happening too. I may be getting used to my symptoms now that I haven't been normal since May of this year.
I'm not a doctor, but I haven't heard the symptoms you describe as belonging to anyone having PD. Dragging a foot, yes, fatigue, yes, tremors (resting tremor), yes, even rigidity. I would definitely get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion from a PD specialist or movement disorder specialist. Let us know what they say.
