Howdy Dave, I am 39 and have had similiar symptoms for about 3 years. I went to several Drs and had several tests and no one could determine the cause of my symptoms, which continued to get worse....then I went to a Movement Disorder Specialist (in January) and she knew almost right away that I had PD. I am currently taking part in a drug study and have been on transdermal doses of SPM 962 (a dopamine agonist) since the end of May. I noticed a great improvement within about 3 days. I still have a tremor (rest and action) but it is less severe than it was before. Also after a glass or two of wine with dinner my tremor is almost gone. Also when I do yoga my tremor is very minimal. (I have a very keen sence of smell!!)
