Default Undiagnosed

Started about a year ago with weakness in my arms & legs. Then about 5-6 months ago Ptosis in right eye, drooping head, soft low volume voice. Had Blood work, MRI, Nerve Conduction Test, EMG etc to rule out Myasthenia Gravis. Then 2-3 months ago slow muscle movement, trouble using fingers & hands, hands want to go into closed fist shape, slight tremor in right thumb & hand, taking small - slow - short steps, not swinging right arm while walking. Now tremor more pronounced & lasting longer (10 - 15 minutes at a time). Now looks like possible Parkinson's? Was wondering at first if the tremors only show up temporarily at first and then get more constant as it progresses? Also just lately can't hardly smell or taste anything and my writings small and hard to read.
