Two years ago I was diagnosed with Hemochromatosis (Iron Overload) and =
my doctors now suspect I may have early Parkinsons. Has anyone on this =
list ever heard of any possible links between the two. =20
I just had a brain MRI yesterday and all is normal. I've got constant =
tremors in my upper right arm and exhibit the cog-wheel effect. Both =
legs also have started some tremor actions. I'm also noticing =
occasional slurring of the letter "s" when I'm fatigued. All the =
symptoms are reduced greatly when I've had good rest. My grandfather =
had Parkinsons.
Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year!
Jim
