I am 83, and was diagnosed in July of 2020. My right hand had been shaking for a year. I had been on thyroid for years, and suddenly, it appeared I got a bad dose, and ended up at the hospital. Once I changed brands, the shaking got better, but never stopped. My thyroid doctor suggested I see a movement doctor. I was very shocked to learn I had Parkinson. Sleep has been a problem since 2019, and I could not figure that out. I have mild sleep apnea and use a mouth piece. I could not handle the other. I now take 1/2 of Benadryl and it gives me 5 hours. I am small, and weighed 97/98 up until recently. I was put on Carbidopa/Levodopa. It made me so nauseous I could not eat much, so I got down to 90 lbs. Then I had symptoms of Pancreatitis but it wasn’t that. I had a CT scan and they found a mass on my left lung. I am eating again, waiting for a report on the new CT scan I had this week, this time on my chest, as I am a 27 yr breast cancer survivor. I have a new doctor, pulmonary. He thinks it may be a mass from Bronchiectasis. So, today I started taking Dopa Mucuna, not a prescription, at the advice of my movement doctor. She said it is not as strong. I am a month behind on starting something for my shaking. I am praying this does not make me nauseous. I think I may have had Parkinson’s since 2019. My movement doctor said my brain was alright, but my short term memory is not good this year. I know I am old, and memory due to old age is common, but how do you know if that is your problem. I see my movement doctor Oct 1, so I will discuss that more with her again.
