hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.
As you have cramps starting from fists and then later you feel it in the whole body, getting a Neuromuscular assessment is advised. Also, certain times due to fluctuation in the sodium levels the cramps occurs. A thorough blood examination should provide an input.
As, parkinson disease is known by the two key symptoms like - rigity and tremor. Both are far different than cramps so you can be assure it is not parkinson disease.
Understanding the biochemical imbalance occuring in the cellular levels can help doing correction. Also, your age, sex l, lifestyle, past medical history etc needs and understanding without which it will not sound good to come to a conclusion.
once the diagnosis is made than with simple medicine and general exercises things should be fine.
