Epilepsy?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Mesa, AZ

Do you ever have Fits like you are epileptic? Sometimes my legs and arms all shake and controllably. Like I am having a seizure. Until recently I was not aware that this was sometimes a symptom of PD. Apparently there is a link between epilepsy and Parkinson's. Is this something that you have had?

That's what I would say is a partial Parkinson's freeze.
They usually happen because you are dehydrated.

No, I’ve never had epileptic fits. Just sometimes left side of my body gets stuck in a position. I have to shake it out.
