What Causes Body Tremors Along With Stiffness On The Left Side?

To whom it may concern, Over the last 7-8 years I ve experienced a cluster of neurological symptoms; Some of these symptoms are, but not limited to: Tremor and weakness, stiffness all on the left side, my ability to walk and overall coordination has declined over the course of these years. Then the neurologist did a DAT-spect study and diagnosed me with early-adult-onset Parkinson s disease. I am now nearly 46 years old, and since that diagnosis, I never believed I had it. A year ago I had a bad fall at home and suffered a subdural hematoma, which did resolve itself, however I still suffer from headaches and my symptoms have rapidly increased. Last week I asked for an MRI of the head and neck; The results floored me. It shows a subarachnoid cyst, with CSF problems and demyelination. To say I m confused would be an understatement, but suffice to say I think the original diagnosis was wrong. Any thoughts Doctor? Thanks for any help you can provide, Johnny

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you still have headaches and your symptoms have increased, surely you are not well. However, a patient should be satisfied with the diagnoses before he gets treated. I suggest you to stay away from stress and get an eye check up done. Give a little time to yourself, avoid alcohol, tobacco or any other addiction, eat healthy, evaluate if your symptoms are getting better or are worsening. If you are not okay repeat the MRI to reconfirm the diagnoses & get treated at the earliest.
