Has anyone been diagnosed with ET and/or taken Proprandolol or Primadone?
I'm suspecting more and more that my symptoms speak towards ET and not PD:
my Sinemet response is eratic, (there are more and more days when my meds
function little or not at all); my on-time has been deteriorating, my
tremor is more active when i'm active and more quiet when i'm quiet. I
rarely drink, but i've read on the list and heard from others that alcohol
quiets ET, so i'm going to experiment and drink wine--in moderation of
course! (I don't want to trade ET, PD for a drinking problem). :-)
