Parkinson's

[foxglove]

If I hold my arms out in front on me at shoulder level my hands and fingers tremble. Does anyone know if this is a symptom of Parkinson's ?

My grandmother had this problem and it was because of her thyroid levels. However, I don't know a lot about it or Parkinson's either so its probably worth going to the doctor for a check up.

Thanks, I have underactive thyroid but being treated with thyroxin, tested recently and told all is well with thyroid. I think ot's more to do with overactive . Will go to dr's in the new year anyway it it's still bothersome. I am a worrier and tend to think the worst!

I know how you feel! I have terrible health anxiety but try to look at things rationally, even if I have to talk out loud to myself! Hope all goes well

Good advice ....will try! Never thought about talking out loud to me.

Any possibility that you could have Tardive Dyskinesia?
