But I was diagnosed initally diagnosed as having ET because I was too young for PD (53). My tremor was not resting and did abate with alcohol, but it was only on one side. It did not lessen with klonapin no matter how many I took. A year later an MDS diagnosed PD. He said the fact that the tremor was atypical for PD was not unusual.

I used the fact that it was atypical to support my denial for years.
