Hi! Emily:
You do not say what kind of tremor this was. Was it action tremor or
resting tremor. For example, I have action tremor, which is conisdered a
sign of ET and not PD. However, I am also showing other symptoms of PD,
such as drooping shoulder, drooling, slow movement and calf muscle pain, and
postural instability. If it is action tremor, it is usually worse when you
try do some work with your fingers; the more forcefully you use your finger,
the worse the tremor would be, in my cae. But, this has nothing to do with
my smooth whole arm movement.

> We had 1st follow up appointment with neurologist for Julian. They
increased the Permax from .75 mg a day to 1.50 mg over 1 1/2 weeks. The
tremors never got better with Permax but rather progressively worse. We were
grateful that anxiety, nausea and appetite greatly improved.
> At this follow up appointment, they asked Julian to perform certain
movements with his arm, fingers and feet. It became obvious that Julian got
jerky movements on his left side, which is the opposite side of his hand and
arm tremor. His right side effected by the tremor had smooth movements.
Movement specialist could not explain this occurrence. We wonder if anybody
had similar experience. Thank you for your reply.
