Could it be a Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi All,

For nearly 2 years I have been suffering with the feeling of being off balance, so imagine when you shift your body weight it's like you're being pulled to that side, this has brought on a variety of other symptoms the most prevalent one is the shaking that occurs throughout my body when I make certain movements (extend my legs and arms, shaking throughout body when I bend my upper body forward) and the fact now my voice is far more shaky than it has ever been, this all pretty came on all at once and I am yet to find anyone with same symptoms.

I have had all the test that you would have when you get these symptoms and they have all come back as normal. However I have recently came across the Basal Ganglia and the function it has in the brain and how it affects the rest of the body, all of my issues seem to directly relate to things the Basal Ganglia would control. Things like voluntary motor movements, disorders include things like Basal Ganglia Dysfunction, Basal Ganglia Calcification, seeing as I have had an MRI done but nothing about the Basal Ganglia was mentioned I am not really sure what step to take.

Does anyone know anything about Basal Ganglia Disorders or have been treated for them and has anyone here have similar symptoms to my own?

Kind Regards
