Side to side is indicative of Essential TRemor not PD as I recall.

Hi Charlie,
It is possible that these patients have essential tremor too. This comparision was done with a selection of patients who were diagonized Parkinson's disease by a neurologist.
I'll try to place part of the table here. Could be that the layout will be bad.
134 respondents had a quivering tongue and 492 dit not experience that symptom.
