Default Off-label medication relief of PD symptoms

Good morning, everyone...I have not posted in a very long time, but I read the messages, here, regularly.

I would like to ask if anyone has ever experienced relief of a PD symptom while taking an antibiotic? My pwp has been taking an antibiotic for an infection for 5 days, now, and her tremor (her predominant symptom) SEEMS to have disappeared! It almost seems beyond coincidental. I wonder if this could be considered to be an "off label" use (I believe that's the term used when a medication geared to treat a specific ailment results in relief of another symptom for which it has not been specifically prescribed. It seems to me that there has been some speculation about viruses having some connection to PD (not really certain about this). I would appreciate any input that you may have about this.

Thank you...it's good to be back. I always know where I have to go when I have a question related to PD.

Therese
