I thought he was wrong. But in researching symptoms, I have them all including the pins and needles, numbness, stabbing and gnawing pain especially when holding my phone at nite laying down. I also had my first hallucinations yesterday. When I looked out the window, I thought it was snowing.<br />Later in the day I looked out and it was sunny, no snow, ice or snow on my car. I thought maybe I was asleep then. Now, I know it was a hallucination.<br /><br />joycewhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17919245052582778081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726760868307129738.post-48340183425751388132019-06-14T17:27:38.089-07:002019-06-14T17:27:38.089-07:00The way I described it the first time was it's...The way I described it the first time was it's like wearing those green garden gloves all the time, even on great days, they're just tighter fitting on great days.

I've given up crocheting and hand craft work after 50 years. I was an active person in my early 60's until i had 20 falls in seven weeks. I had 7 concussions and was knocked out 5 times before after the 11th trip to the er they decided to admit me. They found 3 small spots where my brain had been bleeding. I had a bloods pressure condition from undiagnosed Parkinson's. I spent 10 weeks learning to write, read, walk,talk,dress, rollover in bed and how to do math and remember things. Then I was sent home to live all alone with my cat and no fresh food. I survived, but it was a tough introduction to Parkinson's. Thankfully it is much more kind now. Some speech problems but my cat doesn't seem to care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726760868307129738.post-24315512201785966052015-11-09T09:58:25.674-07:002015-11-09T09:58:25.674-07:00I work in engineering (still).

Although I am the early stages of Parkinson's, using the computer keyboard (double typing or missing keys, especially with the right hand), and using a mouse is difficult at times. These symptoms are one of the things that got me to talk to my doctor, which lead to my diagnosis. I use a Logitech track ball (thumb ball type) instead of a mouse, but typing is still difficult.

What bugs me the most is all the confined spaces I have to get through during the day. Left hand turns are brutal, I have to do a clockwise spin and hope I don't fall over. I am not sure how I ever dealt with so many cramped spaces before without noticing them, or if they are something that has found me and latched on like a tick.
