Roberta,
Are you dominantly left-handed? I am. I also have tremor primarily
on the left side. When my Sinemet is working, everything works o.k. When
it wears off, the tremor kicks in and I avoid using my left side as much
as possible. If it's twitching, I'll sit on my hand or wedge it between
the couch cushions. At work, I'll put my hand in my pocket or wear a
wrist weight if I'm walking around. I get some pain in my wrist and
forearm when I try to use my own muscles to immobilise things.
Good luck.
Working for the cure, Geo.

Subject: Wrist Pain
I have seen 3 neuros and they all say I have PD. I have taken 3 different
meds (one twice) and they either didn't help or made me too sick. I have
an
appointment next month at Robert Wood Johnson to see a movement disorder
specialist/neuro. My tremor is on the left side (leg and arm, mostly
wrist).
My wrist aches terribly. It feels like a bad toothache and I just want to
cut it off. Anyone experience this and would a wrist support help until I
can figure out what's going on? Roberta
