Hi Kathy
I agree with Richard as my husband has had alzheimers for years and was diagnosed with Parkinsons a year ago. He had shaky hands and feet which he couldnt control and also was very ridgit. His neurologist will be able to diagnois that easily and prescribe medication to help. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ˜Š

Well he definitely needs something for it. He can't even eat now and drops his cup.

Kathy:
Could be "Parkinsons with Alzheimers. I am in my 5th yr with Alzheimers dx, but about 18 months with non-motor symptoms of Parkinsons. Your neurologist can pin down, definitive dx. There are good meds for Parkinsons, and one, Exelon, is prescribed for both...no cure, but Quality of life,still high. Check out my story.
