As you may know, I haven't been feeling well for some time and have been on unpaid family leave since the first part of May when I had surgery (unrelated). Anyway, my PD sx have worsened - near falls, walking very slowly, etc.

The neuro is pretty positive that I don't have PD he said today. He only said parkinsonism because folks that he referred me to mentioned it as a possibility. He says that no one has come up with a dx, but he will keep looking.

His own personal thought is that all or most of my sx have been caused by something very stressful in my past. He says for most women it is being molested at a young age. He wanted to know if I had a a stressful situation at a young age. (no) He wanted to know if I had any in my life. I first though, hasn't everyone? Having my son die was the worst, but there was also the three years of hell after our daughter was born when we didn't know from one day to the next if she would live.

He didn't want any examples, so I didn't give him any.

So he wants some bld tests and that 's about it. I asked him about going back to work. He said that he didn't know what was the matter, but that I wasn't well enough to work.

I did sell my first patterns and kits for my pillow, so that was a positive thing.

Other than that, I'm kind of bummed.

Thanks for giving me the space to whine.
