Gerudo,

Some of the symptoms you describe are similiar to my brother who has been diagnosed with Parkinsonism. This seemed to start mostly with his balance. One question???? Do you swing you arms when you walk? People with this disease swing their arms very little and usually walk with arms straight down. He has had this for over seven years. When going out, he prefers to use a walker because he is afraid he might fall. The walker helps him to feel more secure.

Just a thought.....

I agree with Ginnie, bringing a friend or spouse with you to your appointment does seem to make a difference with doctors paying better attention.

Please let us know the results of your MRI.
