Hi,
I am sorry you are suffering with these symptoms. I would suggest a neurologist who is also a movement disorder specialist. Some of these symptoms sound Similar to my Dads. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease with dementia or Shy-Dragers. There are no tests that can confirm a diagnosis of either one of these diseases. They just take an educated guess according to your symptoms. With M.S they have tests that can identify that diagnosis for sure. I think it shows up on MRI. Possibly in blood work as well. I hope you can find a diagnosis soon and get the correct medication/treatments to start making you feel better. Do you think it is possible that you may have a sleep disorder? REM sleep behavior disorder (where you act out your dreams and most of them are violent) is what they call a pre-cursor to having Parkinson's Disease. I also have this REM sleep disorder as well as my dad. It is possible that I may have the same thing as him as it is hereditary but I do not have enough of the symptoms to be diagnosed with it yet. I understand how frustrating it is to try and get a diagnosis and try and figure out what kind of doctors you need to go to. Lee had great advise also. she is a wonderful, caring lady who has been helpful to me. i wish you the very best. Please keep us updated. Don't give up. There are answers.
Love,
Brain
