How did you know you had Parkinson's?

Okay, so where did it all start? How did you know that you had Parkinson's? Well I didn't, you know, because I was, it was 10 years ago, in fact the reason I know it was 10 years ago because I found an opening letter, I found a letter, I was looking for something else, I was looking for something else to do in my residency actually, in paperwork, I came across a doctor's letter from my Parkinson's consultant's doctor's letter and it was dated 10 years ago to that almost that day in fact. So 10 years ago I was at the Royal Free and I couldn't, it's like I had I couldn't move my hand very well, my hand was really sort of stiff, my left hand was really really stiff. And then so I went down, so I popped into A&E quickly, you know, abuser system as you do. So I went down to A&E and he said, oh no, you've got tennis elbow. We'll just whack some, but we'll whack some steroid in there. So he put, he injected it and it was like being injected with concrete. But it took the pain away, but I still, I still couldn't move my arm. Not well, not properly. So Anyway, I went to, it was about a couple of weeks of this, and it was getting worse and worse. I went to the GP. Now, fortunately, this is where I was in a lot of luck, because my GP was away on holiday, and it was a locum, and it was a neurosurgical, that was a real job, locuming as a GP. And she looked at me, and she says, write your name. So I wrote my, I said, oh, okay. So I wrote my name, and she said, you've got Parkinson's. Because your handwriting, it's sort of like, it goes, it starts off normally and then goes down like a wedge. So the A is big, but you know, by the time I got to the T in Learmont, it was like my news. And so she said, it's a, you've got Parkinson's anyway. So I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm too young. You're wrong. And she wasn't unfortunately. And then I went to a Parkinson's consultant in Edgware, in Edgware General. And that's where it all started really, so the medication and all that stuff, that's where it all began.
