Something you may not have considered is that we are prone to chemical sensitivity too. So, look at your diet and ask your self what food could potentially have additives, pesticides, preservatives, dyes. Even wheat is germinated with roundup, so many gluten intolerance is a pesticide issue and all these things can create disease symptoms like fibromyalgia and Ms or exaggerate symptoms you have. There's also a gene mutation called MTHFR that can be tested that can cause your body to not absorb B vitamins well and create symptoms. You just have to get the MTHFR blood test from your doctor to see if this applies to you. Hope this helps.
Old as in Michael J Fox? Our exposure to poisons, especially in foods has made many changes in assumed presentation of diseases.
Many of my symptoms are more closely related to Parkinson, but my doctor keeps saying that Parkinsons is rarely seen in people my age, and that it's more of a Geriatric disease. I still think that is what I have, and I asked one of my other doctors what it would take to get a diagnosis and he said I would take a number of markers. So it sounds like it will be just as frustrating to get that diagnosis as well.
