hi everyone, 1 year 4 months ago i started getting pain and loss of movement in my shoulder, diagnosed bursitis. 6 months later i got pain in my wrist. by then my shoulder was much much worse was eventually diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis . a few months later i developed pain in ribs and hip. 2 months ago i developed a tremor in my hand same arm as froze shoulder. specialist told GP i should go to a neurologist but she wrote it off as fibromyalgia and an essential tremor. no referral. most recently I've been getting pins & needles and twitching in both feet and this whole time I've had fatigue, dizziness and constipation. my question is has anyone else been th rough similar and what did it turn out to be? i am worried about parkinsons since it was mentioned but dismissed by my gp

TIA

    Hi there my thoughts are you need to get to a GP willing to give you the care you need not what they think. I was recently diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) if you Google it or check the article on this site it is very informative. The symptoms present similar to Parkinson and MS. either way you need to get these ruled out

    Good Luck DB
