Smile Finally diagnosed

Finally have a diagnosis as of 10/25/13. Started having resting tremors in right hand with shuffling gait & loss of smell about 3 months ago. What looked like Myasthenia because of drooping eyelid, fatigue muscle weakness etc. turned out to be Parkinson's Disease. Found a Movement Disorder Specialist who confirmed it right away and he was only about 40 miles away. I am on Carbidopa/Levodopa which proved it when it really helped with my symptoms. Feel so much better now because of meds & finally having a diagnosis. I guess sometimes it takes time for some diseases to truly reveal themselves. Thanks everyone & good luck.
