Hello, I am Joe Huskey from Southeast MO STate University. I have several questions for you all out there. I am not sure if my mother who is age 72 has PD or not. She has tremors in both hands when hold papers, coffee, etc. Her thumbs appear to twitch from time to time. She recently had surgery for hip replacement and after the surgery her hand tremors were worse. She has had the tremors for about 20 years and was diagnosed as essential tremor. She is also diabetic. She will have diagnostic tests in the near future. Any comments would be appreciated. This is my first posting so if I am making any mistakes I will apologize ahead of time.
