What Causes Difficulty In Moving The Hand?
I once had a beautiful hand writting and now my writting hand will not function like it use to. I am 74 years old and several years back I noticed my hand writting was not the same. When I tried to make certain letters my hand did not alsways go in the direction I intended it to go. In addition, I have noticed a slight shake in my head, lip and chin. The only happens sometimes and I was told if your head shakes it is not PD...so what is it.

Hello,
What you describe does seem very likely to be Parkinson's Disease. I would advise that you schedule a visit with a neurologist as soon as possible so as to figure out the correct diagnosis and institute appropriate treatment.
