Hello. I am new here, but I am having several worrisome symptoms that I feel may be early onset PD. My mother has PD (diagnosed at 75). I am 39.
about 2 months ago, I began having a tremor in my left thumb and forefinger (pill rolling in nature). It has only occurred twice in that time frame. Then I began have strange muscle "twitches" in various parts of my body...sometimes lasting for long periods of time (legs, arms, buttocks, left eye).
about a month ago, my right big toe starting curling down on its own repeatedly. All day, every day. Not at night. about 2 weeks after that, my left big toe starting doing the same thing. It has now progressed into toe curling that pulls the other toes down with it and develops a cramp eventually. I also wake up at night with my toes curled into "claws".
Dizziness has also been a frequent problem for the past few months, along with an inability to find the right word I'm looking for (a word that I've always known) in conversation.
I saw a general MD last week, and she said she felt certain it was a potassium or calcium issue, but all bloodwork came back fine. She now says we need to proceed with MRI and neurology consult. I just wanted to talk to someone who may have had some of these symptoms. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
