HI! keith:
Your story is very similar to mine. Right from birth, my left side was
much stronger and healthier than teh right. Actually, my left leg and foot
are little loner and larger respecgtively. This has caused me some walking
problems about 20 year ago. I think I had my symptoms when I was around 35
or so. But I realized it only as a hind sight after I was diagnozed with
ET and PD recenly.
I was wondering if you had action tremor (ET) or resking tremor (PD)?
