best_one_of_the_best_ones_8 asked:


my grandpa has it, and i have some of the same exact symptoms. i was adopted so he’s not a blood relative, but could i have the same thing? or is it something else?
i’m almost 19 and i agree that i should probably get some genetic testing but i think its pretty expensive,as are doctor’s visits. i started having symptoms about a year ago but they were very mild.. just shaky hands and twitching and tight jaw.. now it’s gotten slightly worse and i throw up more than normal

oompa loompa asked:


For the past three days my thumb has been twitching for a few seconds at a time about 10 to 20 times a day. i do use a wheelchair due to spina bifida which in no way affects my hands, but i do use my arms a lot but no more lately than usual. i have no other symptoms of serious disease like parkinsons or als. could it be an early sign of arthritis? not extremely worried about it but any help is appreciated.

Ava asked:


If you type in “List of neurological disorders” schizophrenia sometimes appears with things like Parkinsons, sometimes it doesn’t. I am wondering what it is classified as but apparently it’s classified as whatever someone feels like classifying it as that day.
