Allow me to begin by stating, with no uncertainty, that you do not have Parkinson's Disease. My father has Parkinson's Disease and for four years I have watched him progress, all the way, from entirely healthy to relatively disabled. Parkinson's Disease, unlike sporadic ALS, has a very...

Thanks for the kind words princessshelia. I'm glad to hear that you are noticing your symptoms less. It's really hard when you are experiencing neurological symptoms and no one can give you a clear answer as to whether they are organic or psychological in nature. I know it's not their fault but...
