Hi Again David and all, Seems your visit to the dr. raised more questions than it answered. There are checklists and a description of a neurologic exam in the links at WWWeb Resources 09 - Doctor Visit. Go to: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/pienet/wwweb/index.html Read the disclaimer and click on The Index.... Then next time you go perhaps you will ask enough questions to ease your situation and get a little comfort and rapport with the Dr. (Ya gotta get a dr. you can trust and like if you have Parkinson's) All the best ......... murray David Meigs wrote: > Subject: Sounds like I'm not alone! > > > > Hi, > > > > Several weeks ago, that twitch I sometimes get in my finger turned into my > > whole hand shaking, so I mentioned that to my doctor.
