I might have Parkinsons disease

I am only 38 years old which is young for my therapist also psychiatrist noticed that I have a litle shake all throughout my body for 6 months now and this really scares me lots and I am so very subconcious of this for I my head shkes when I yawn or stretch also I constantly shake a little all day and night and my doctor told me it is not my medications that are causing this nor physical nor anxiety and as I am writing this I feel like crying for my doctor told that Micheal J Fox has this disease but his is bad and he is young too so I am scheduled to see a specialist about this at UCSF to see if it is parkinsons disease or something else also when I am relaxed I shake and I feel it all through out my body and I try my hardest to get my mind off of it by watching my favorite show on SPIKE  the Ultimate Fighter Championships for it relaxes me alot and gets my mind off of things that I am going through so please hope I don't  have it also I was wondering if it is Parkinsons what treatments are out there so I will let you guys now more later.

I do not know what condition you do or do not have. I never claimed I did. I was simply trying to give a helpful suggestion to discovering what other reasons, other than Parkinson's, that cause the symptoms you describe. There are side effects from medications that cause uncontrollable movements.  The movement disorder that I was referring to is called "Tardive Dykinesia". Tardive Dyskinesia and Parkinson's are both classified as movement disorders and the cause of both conditions are related to Dopamine and treatment for both disorders are the same. The difference between the two disorders is that people with Parkinson's "can't move" and people with Tardive Dyskinesia "can't sit still". I was trying to give you a "ray of hope" that the symptoms you are describing could be Tardive Dyskinesia which people can spontaniously recover from over time. I only wish you the best when you see the specialist and wish you well.

Hi Everyone, I know it has been awhile since I have not been online for my internet has been down for a whole week for I have wireless connection and now it is back up and running which I hope it will keep working forever and ever so here is the newest about the Parkinsons disease that I thought I was having for I don't have the disease Praise God for that so I have low white blood cells also low vitamin B12 which I have been taking now for I have not been taking it for a very long time so it is actually a genetic condition for that is why I have been shaking throughout my body day and night and the shakiness has actually gotten worse in my hands on and off and I want to hear from one of the Doctors on the show if the producers let me also they thought it was my medications which was not the case but I am on 1 medication called Propranolol which is suppossed to help with my shakes which I hope I will know it will work in about 3 weeks form now for that is what my psychiatrist prescribed me so keep your fingers crossed for me also I am going to a different psychiatrist soon for I am not happy with the one I was seeing before for he is taking me off the certain medications which he has no righ to take me off for he is 1 of those Doctors who does not listen to you  at all so I am so happy that I am changing but still in the same office which is so cool for me for I have anger issues very, very bad also major deppression but I am not suicidal at all for it a different kind of deppression I have.
