Can early Alzheimers symptoms include Parkinson’s like tremors?

Current medical symptoms for past 6-9 months - Age 50/Male
1. Parkinson’s like tremors in hands and arms and progressively becoming worse as time continues.
2. Losing cognitive ability and memory and these are getting progressively worse as well. I frequently lose track of work or a though right in the middle of it and I have to stop and think for nearly a half a minute to get back on track.
3. Lethargic and lacking in motivation. Kind of depressed, nothing unmanageable.

Over 1 1/2 year ago I had severe tremors occuring in hands, arms and face and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. The neurologist pronounced his diagnosis when I had taken Mirapex for a week and the tremors had vanished in arms and face, and were nearly gone in my hands.

I’m still taking the same amount of Mirapex but now the original symptoms have returned along with the memory and cognitive loss symptoms as well.

Could I have Alzheimers rather than Parkinson’s? I need help.

Jen D asked:


My grandfather has Alzheimers and never remembers me or anyone in his family. I’m not sure what to talk to him about now that we don’t have that connection anymore. He is in a nursing home and I go have lunch w/him once a week but its hard to know what to say since he doesn’t know me, my kids, my parents or much about life in general. Don’t want to just sit there and look at him either. I know others have dealth w/this….what did you do?
