Older therapies: From your description, I believe you do have Parkinson's, but you also may have a REM Sleep Disorder, and early Lewy Body Dementia. Until all gets clarified, would suggest vigorous Physical Therapy which was used in Soviet Union years ago when medicine was scarce. Would also suggest visit to the nearest medical school to get second opinion. (Unfamiliar with how Ireland handles this.)
