Hello everyone, today I am going to diagnose myself. I think I have Parkinson's. I say that because, I guess I have left a lot of things out that I just thought were stupid and not important to tell anyone about. Okay, so here are the things that I thought were too stupid to tell the doctor(s) about...
1. I get choked very easily, this started about a month or so ago. I get choked in the shower more times than I can remember, the last time my daughter was in the bathroom talking to me, it scared her. She asked what happened and I couldn't remember. I didn't black out or pass out, I just think I forgot where I was or something, I'm still not sure what happened.
2. I can't drink with out it spilling down my chin about a good four or five times before I can drink anything and I have seriously thought about switching to straws only.
3. I have a sudden urge out of the middle of no where to go pee. Sometimes it hits me, right after I already went. I didn't know that this is also important to tell the doctor. Maybe I just thought that I had a lot more to drink than normal when it happens. I don't think so.
4. It's hard for me to remember things. I have to repeat it at least a dozen times and maybe even then I will still forget.
5. The tremors or what I call twitching happens all over and when I mean all over, I mean it. It gets better when I move. I can move and won't feel anything, I use to think it was because my mind was off of the movements. I can be driving in the car and the leg that I don't use for the brake will twitch. Sometimes they are stronger than others and sometimes they even scare me. I get them in my legs, shoulders, ribs, butt, thighs, and ear. When I move it disappears. Which is kind of embarrassing when you want to show someone and it doesn't do it anymore.
6.My speech is all messed up. I say things backwards or mess up the meaning or just can't put what I want to say altogether. Sometimes I pause in mid sentence trying to figure out where I was going with what I wanted to say and then I might even switch topics altogether.
7. I get aggravated more easily than I use to.
8. Just yesterday I noticed that my legs felt tired, almost heavy. This is new to m because I had never had that feeling before.
9. I am cold, I feel as if I am freezing, even when my husband tells me my hands are warm, this too is fairly new. I am the type of person that gets cold easily, but never like this.
10. Since yesterday I don't like chocolate. I tried to eat some and to me it was nasty, I spit out a good four pieces.
11. I don't put all the letters in or I hit the wrong keys. Thank God for spell check!
12. I get more confused easier than I use to. Simple things.
13. My handwriting has changed. Sometimes I write like me and other times I write like a child, then it will look totally different and sometimes small, sometimes big. My signature has changed sometimes too.
Okay this is the list I think I need to take with me to the doctor, if I can remember to print it up. Everyone else has tried to diagnose me and so I figured I would give it a try for myself. Thanks for reading. God Bless!
