Yes, I want to stay off meds as long as possible. The tremor is not bad when I am using the hand but when I am still or tired or upset, it sure is different. I am trying to cope with all these symptoms. Now that I think back about all my aches and pains and going to the orthopedic Dr, I must have had this for years only that the tremor and rigidity diagnosed it. I am going to Baltimore to check out a study and a good international Dr. there in Dec. Some people think I may not have PD but I am convinced.
