>Samantha - I thought of another test for Parkinson's tremor vs. familial >tremor or other types: Does Joe's tremor resemble a pill-rolling motion? I can tell when Joel's fallen asleep because the tremor stops, so, yes, it's a resting tremor. However, I looked at his hand while we were talking, and his fingers made more of an open-closing motion vs. a rolling motion. (I might add, he can't believe all the wonderful advice I'm getting from all of you. He's always thought everybody in modem land was a nut case.)Joel says that his fingers do sometimes make that pill-rolling motion, but I've never seen it. I don't know, maybe I'm grasping at straws. I guess I'm not alone in wanting the reason for his tremor to be something curable. Then again, there are worse things to have. Oh, and just one more little thing (well, not all THAT little) there ain't nuttin' wrong with his libido. Thanks again for your experienced advice and precious time. ***************************** * With a smile in her byte, * * [log in to unmask] * *****************************
