I know I have health anxiety and I've been trying to take more steps as of late to help with it. My dad has had Parkinson's for a couple years (he's in his 70s) and I guess I'm feeling nervous it might be hereditary. (FYI I'm a 42-year-old female.)

My left thumb (mostly) and index finger and right thumb (once in a while) sometimes twitch once or twice. I've had hand issues over the years including surgery for a cyst in one wrist, plus occasional carpal tunnel (hasn't happened for a while) plus I use my cell phone a lot. When I was in college my hand would get fatigued if I wrote for a long time.

I know it's probably strain or stress/anxiety related but since there's no way to know for sure without spending a ton of $$ it's hard to fully put the stress out of my mind. I looked at a website that talked about early signs of Parkinson's and that just stressed me out more.

Thanks, Friends. The posts on this site have been a huge help to me.
