GPs suggest Ruby Wax book or PD

[Anne8]

On Monday saw a different GP because the one I spoke to recently wasn't available till Friday and sometimes it's good to get a different view. He suggested I buy a book by Ruby Wax. Said it would help me to understand and deal with my problems. Although this might help in some way I decided to go back to other GP on Friday. She now wonders if I have PD. She's going to go over my notes (she doesn't know my history) and I've to see her again next week.

Its good to get a fresh perspective. Good that a GP actually reads your notes

[Anne8 in reply to VonnyM]

Yes, but she's a locum so isn't there full time.

Don't mean to be rude but what's PD?

[Anne8 in reply to Sorebones]

Parkinsons Disease

[Sorebones in reply to Anne8]

Ah. Oh dear, that's not so good. It runs in my family so am very aware of keeping an eye on any tremors etc.

I hope you get a definitive answer soon. The not knowing puts so much strain on you x 🐸

[Anne8 in reply to Sorebones]

Thanks for your concern

Oh dear Anne,

I do so hope that it isn't Parkinson's , I thought I might be going down that route but my GP assured me I have what is called "essential tremor" as my hands and sometimes my arms too shake quite violently.

I really hope that they rule out PD for you and I'm sending lots of positive healing vibes to you 😀😀

Thanks for that. No point in worrying till I need to. As you say it may be essential tremor.

[Anne8]

Just have to wait and see. Hopefully it won't be.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Thank you very much for your concern. My thoughts are " there is always someone worse off" . I've just lost another friend with the big C. We all have crosses to bare.

Everyone on here is so caring, it's encouraging. Thanks again.

I am so genuinely sorry to hear about your friend, please take care of yourself.
