Dear fellow PWP, (especially those with tremor), As one of the tortoises (you know the type, slow and locked into a rigid shell) I experience only an occasional bout of mild tremor. It is so mild in comparison to my other symptoms that I sometimes forget that it occurs at all. I am also one of several local PWP/Carers who regularly visit Nursing Homes/Hospitals etc. to raise the PD awareness of the staff and to try and give them some idea of what it is LIKE to have PD. I am often asked questions about tremor, but can only give a generalised answer drawn from books and observation. To strengthen this part of my presentation I could use some education myself. If some of the 'shakers' on the list would be kind enough to help me get a grasp of "what it's like" to have tremor, I will do my best to pass the information on, and one more small blow will be struck to raise awareness of PD in one more small corner of the world. Thanks, Dennis. ************************************************** Dennis Greene 48/11 [log in to unmask] http://members.networx.net.au/~dennisg/ **************************************************
