my parkenson's
I was born in 1962 in Michigan, I was a dependent of the air force. Lived in Japan as a dependent in 1966 to 1970. agent Orange, was stored and used in Japan but all documentation of it was covered up.
I joined the army in 1980, served in Germany 10 years. also served in Arizona for 4 years.had some problems with unexplained pain in legs, back and neck. after desert storm I was discharged under early release program due to military cuts.
Had some unexplained problems with pain, anxiety and other things. Had a mild stroke at 35, had some heart problems at 40.
First real sign was in 2006 my left toe went numb. I started seeing the VA doctors about it. There first diagnosis was because I like drinking beer, second was it was all in my head.
then it started up my leg, then my right toe went numb got the run around till 2011 when my right arm started twitching. started falling down for no reason and it felt like I was walking on glass all the time. Then I was finally sent to neurologist, all there test came back negative for MS, and other things. But the doctor kept saying he believes it was PD but would not confirm it.
Then I went to an outside of VA neurologist, First visit he said it was PD right away. He said he has seen this meany times. Now I am disabled. I can do alot of thing on a good day but on a bad day I can't even walk.
