I was told that I have Parkinson s, but now am told that I have Parkinsonism. All I was told is that it mimics Parkinson s. Sometimes my balance is off. I sometimes have something akin to restless leg syndrome at night. I don t get tremors in my hands too much unless I am holding something. My legs do tremor at times. What else can I expect?
Hello dear friend, Parkinsonism is a syn Chat Doctor. Parkinson disease is the disease representative of parkinsonism. Other causes of parkinsonism can multi-infarct state, toxin exposure, corticobasal degeneration, multi system atrophy, progressive supra nuclear palsy. Tremors in Parkinson can be postural(while holding something) or rest. They can be in hands or legs. Please visit a neurologist to get your diagnosis established. I hope it helped.
