B. Larson and Paula I, too, have no tremors but do have a balance problem. I especially notice it when a just get up from sitting and it feels like I get sucked back into the chair.( My kids call it chair launching). It is a rather bizarre feeling because I am powerless to control it. I am on Requip and it has not helped that problem, but I am just starting to increase the dose. I have heard that a walking stick (not a cane) will help. One llike the pope carries. I was wondering if anybody out there who did NOT start out with tremors eventuallly developed them. Thanks.
