Bill, I Still don't know if its PD or not that I have, BUT I do get leg tremors at times. They have been pretty slow in progression, and are worse after giving them a work out. Mine seem worse when I stop walking. Most of the time I have little or no leg tremors though. (other than occasional twitches in my calves) PS - Good score on the drums!
