Hello, almost 2 year ago I started experiencing an odd brain fog, and short term memory loss. It wasn't a normal "oops I forgot to pick up milk" forgetfulness, but a complete wiping of conversations, peoples names, and where I was driving to. This went on for about 6 months before I noticed a slight tremor in my right hand. I thought nothing of it, but was becoming concerned with the memory thing. So I went to see my GP. He checked blood for basics plus lupus, lyme, thyroid and vitamin B12. All fine. He ordered MRI of brain which was fine too. He then suggested that it could be depression. I did not feel depressed, but I guess I had to rule it out, so I have giving this some time. Time for me to relax, enjoy favorite things, etc. It has now been over 1 year, and I have odd tremors. While laying down or sitting, my right foot keeps moving back and forth. While driving, my right hand is doing the pill rolling motion. When getting up to walk my legs are stiff and achy and taking steps feels funny. When I try to start to an action, like type on the keyboard here or move to another room, I have to freeze first as if I'm afraid of falling. Then I can go. Since I am at work, I try and stop the movements of my foot, but that leads to some involuntary movements of my neck or arm or leg. Its as if I can't keep still and if I try it makes things worse. Sounds like Parkinson's yes? There are a few more little things, but basically all signs of PD. Yet, how would I know if this is all a depression/anxiety or a physical ailment? Is there an easy way for me to check for my own depression? In my worry I made an appointment at the neurology department at Robert Wood Johnson hospital (NJ) for next month. But I'm going to feel completely ridiculous going there and having someone tell me this is depression. Not to mention the cost involved in a needless visit. So, what would you do? It has been almost two years. Wouldn't the whole depression thing be gone by now? I was asked if I wanted to try Zoloft by my doc, but I don't feel like taking pills that I don't feel I need. If I were sad or upset, fine. The only thing that has changed mentally during this time is that I feel a little more on edge and snappy with people. Not sure if it's related to worrying about all this though.
