im 17 years old. my hands shake(tremor) since forever but now they’re getting worser, i cant even eat food properly(its nearly impossible sometimes), i drop things, i dont feel like doing anything in which my hands vibrate. my grandfather suffers from parkinsons disease(recently diagnosed). my mum, my cousin and a few other maternal relatives suffer from tremors but they are negligible and hardly noticiable unlike mine. now a days i even suspect my legs, jaw, elbow getting affected by tremors. i looked on wikipedia and surprisingly ALL, i mean ALL symptoms of parkinson disease(confusion periods, decreased sense of smell etc etc) EXACTLY can be seen with me EXCEPT slowness of movement.
ive consulted two physicians they say its heriditary and nothing can be done except giving medicines to stop tremors. they mentioned nothing about parkinsons disease(YES i told them everything).
My life is getting impossible day by day, i cant even handle test tubes in chemistry lab in school bcoz i WILL drop them bcoz of my shaky hands.
im even forgetting things like crazy for eg, ive parked my vehcle in the parking and after returning for a few seconds i think “omg where is my car!?”
i know i should consult neurologist, i will soon but tell me do you think this could be PD?

There is no complete cure for Parkinson’s Disease. Please consult your neurologist soon. He may give you drugs like Artane to reduce the tremors.
Visit a United Pentecostal Church for the power of Jesus to heal. Jesus can do miracles, if you believe in Him. He can heal you with a word. God bless you. I am sorry that you have PD so young. Try to be positive. You can still impact the world even when you have this condition. Yes, it could be genetic that you have this condition so young.
It could be due to the imbalance of the neurotransmitter dopamine in your brain that causes the tremor.
