I AM A 36-YEAR-OLD FEMALE WHO STARTED EXPERIENCING A SLIGHT TREMOR IN MY RIGHT INDEX FINGER about
1 YEAR AGO. IT HAS NOW INCREASED TO BOTH HANDS DAILY AND QUITE FREQUENTLY, AND OCCASIONALLY MY LEGS (BOTH OF THEM). I AM SCHEDULED TO SEE A NEUROLOGIST NEXT WEEK. I AM ALSO HAVING DIFFICULTY WRITING. I USED TO BE A VERY NEAT WRITER, NOW MY HANDWRITING IS NOT LEGIBLE MOST OF THE TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS MIGHT BE PARKINSON'S. ANY ADVICE ON WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TO YOU ALL?

Welcome to healing well.Could definitely be parkinson"s disease or another neurological disorder.Let the neurologist draw the conclusions,and scan thru the posts to see the others that have asked that question.Wish you the best keep us informed,and above all remember we are here for you.Ed

Be ready though for the neuro who might want to treat you like you are a nut. I went to one a while ago for a tremor that started in my pinky of my right hand that ended up being my whole right hand. Mostly an intention tremor (non parkinsonian). She did no tests. Talked to me for a couple of minutes and then told me to see a shrink. It broke my heart. Sometimes you run into doctors like this especially if you are young. I am thirty. My tremors are worse now. And I have other issues. Won't go into it here this isn't my post or my forum. Just want you to know that sometimes looking for a diagnosis can be a rollcoaster ride. Good Luck.

You posed on 8/16 and it is now 10/13. hopefully, they didn't find anything wrong with you. Your nurologist would be the one to see and to say what he thinks is wrong. Don't hesitate to see a second dr. for another opinion.
