I am 34 and was diagnosed with Fibro 6 months ago. I am now having new symptoms that makes me think PD. I have starting having tremors in my hands and feet. I feel like I am holding on to a high voltage wire. I have RLS for almost 20 years and have been on Mirapex for about 12 years. My head jerks sometimes and i have terrible muscle twitches. Somtimes when I walk my leg catches and doesn't co-operate. I'm very scared. I go to my neuro on the 1st. Does this sound familiar with anybody who has PD?

hi,

Your symptoms are all very suspicious of a chronic borrelia burgdorferi infection. (lyme)

This complex bacterial infection is often diagnosed as fibromyalgia, Parkinson's, CFS, MS and a host of other illnesses.

I had a FM diagnosis for 21 years. I found out through my own resarch that I have lyme and I am now getting treatment.

There is a great symptom list in these 2 wonderful resources:

If you want more info I will be glad to help.

You can also leave a post for me on the Lyme board.

I really urge you not to dismiss this info. It could change your life.

Also, don't expect your neuro, PCP or anyone to be able to recognize or diagnose chronic borrelia infection. 99% of Dr's would not. Only a good Lyme literate MD would be of any help.

I agree with the poster who suggested you investigate chronic Lyme. But don't stop there. Lyme has a little help in crossing that blood-brain barrier...
