It is either Parkinsons, MS or Alzheimers. Not sure which it is due to the outcome of the neurological exam/memory loss.
Have no clue. I have a huge list of neurological symptoms but when the neurologicalpsychiatrist asked me to list the symptoms to him verbally I wasn't able to do it. Listing them in writing I am able to do. Is this something of Parkinsons?

Hi coffeegirl, I have no idea but I want to pass on to you that a mom I know was told the same thing, it was all in her head, she was Rx'd anti-anxiety meds, etc., UNTIL she, on a hunch, had a test done for Lyme disease. Yep, she tested positive and is now undergoing treatment for that. Something I did not know is that you can have Lyme for years and then it will flare up and you will have symptoms, many of which mimic MS and/or PD, and yes, Lyme affects the memory too. She told me she is actually having difficulty helping her son with his kindergarten work, and this woman has a couple of degrees if I remember correctly. This would be something else I would consider having looked at, and there are a couple of different tests for Lyme...be sure you get the right/best one for you. Good luck.
