I don't know what to think about any of this anymore and I am not sure that there are many people on this forum with ET. If you are around, let me know. I have a lot of questions.

Hello, I just got a tenative diagnosis of ET. I also have a primary Dr who thought I might have Parkinson's.
I went to one neuro just this week who thinks ET.
I am going to a second neurologist in a month for another opinion.
I have been given a trial dose of Primodone to see if it helps and to possibly confirm the diagnosis.
It is very frustrating to not have answers. I have also wondered if it is MS. Right now I am hoping that the meds will help since tremors are interfering with my work etc.
