When do I know if I have Parkinsons. Wondering if its 'in my head' due to 'survivor guilt' (lost parents this year younger sister in 2006

[dubdiva]

Im 51 & was diagnosed 10 years ago w/ benign chronic tremor(which I had all my life) Also depression and anxiety bouts most of my life. Long story short is now been on Levadopa for 2 months, my tremor got better (when I cut my dose it came back) Had suffered sever fatique, again which is better, tend to have spells of dropping things and muscle pains/stiff BUT also have other health issues. Last few years bad sweats, insomnia & constipation worse, thought it was a rough menapause. My neurologist is not sure, (dont have the gate or masking and some of the other symptoms. Had brain scans. Mom passed in July after fatal fall (she had Parkinsons,as did cousin on moms side, her sister passed from MS. Im now without my family and wonder if this is 'survivor guilt'..

Any thoughts welcome! Thank you
