Hi Chris ,

Quite related Chris . In my case I notice only tremors ( mildly) in my
right hand  and I was diagnosed by 5 different specialists as being
Parkinson ( one examination was made int he research center of NIH in
Bethseda,MA ) . Neverthless you certainly do know that there are many
other cause of tremors besides Parkinson and only a through examination
of each case may tell .
