What Are Symptoms Of Parkinsonim?

I was told that I have Parkinson s, but now am told that I have Parkinsonism. All I was told is that it mimics Parkinson s. Sometimes my balance is off. I sometimes have something akin to restless leg syndrome at night. I don t get tremors in my hands too much unless I am holding something. My legs do tremor at times. What else can I expect?
