I’ve had it several years, my PCP (which was 3 different doctors) have seen it and said no big deal. But on my last visit to my PCP (in which I was complaining of constant exhaustion since November), he said it was time to check into it a little further.
Last week I saw a neurologist and he gave me a thorough physical and verbal exam. His verdict was that it looked like Parkinson’s but was not accompanied by other symptoms so he does not think it iS Parkinson’s. Because it’s not causing any problems he did not prescribe any medication. Since it could be a couple other things (a rubral tremor or vascular tremor) he is prescribing an brain MRI and that will happen tomorrow.
I’m going to beat you to the punch. I’ve had Stacy look through my right ear and she cannot see through to the other ear, which means somethings in there. So there will be no “we took a picture of your brain and found nothing” results.
This caused me to reflect the organ that makes us what we are, is the least examined. At any moment, we know the least about it.
As for the exhaustion, I’m seeing a pulmonary cardiologist. I’ve already had a lung capacity test (no results yet) and later this month will have a stress test and electro-cardio gram. I hope we can discover the cause of the exhaustion. As a reminder I have asthma and a paralyzed right diaphragm. That’s been going on for 5 years and it ended my running career.
