He also noted that my handwriting was small and the letters were cramped. He diagnosed me with probable Parkinsons and put me on carbidopa/levodopa (25/100 twice daily).

The good news is that the alcohol induced PN did improve and is now much less noticeable. Wish there was something I could do about the Parkinsons.
