Well, nothing seemed to account for this diminishing of the tremor. I have almost forgotten about it, but the new symptoms are as least as annoying but not as embarassing. After all, the stiffness can be somewhat privately borne. A lot of people who do not have PD posture stiffly when they get up from the table. Of course, I feel like screaming when I stand up in a restaurant after finsihing my meal, so I know there is a difference. Getting out of bed requires courage, but only my husband witnesses that. When I did have constant tremor, I was embarassed but not in pain. In fact, way back when this PD trip started, I wrote a post that "at least Parkinson's is not painful" or something like that. I know better now.

Thank you for your reply.
