For Bob FinkBob, You asked what our thoughts are on the subject of essential tremor and PD. While I can't respond for any one else but myself, I think Parkinson's Disease is ---> OFTEN <--- mis-diagnosed as Essential Tremor. It is a sortof like saying: I don't know what in the hell you've got, but I don't want to call it Parkinson's. Many years ago, I had two GPs and one Neuro tell me I had essential tremor. It wasn't until sometime later that I learned enough to know better. I also am curious: How many others have had this experience??? VernD <[log in to unmask]>
