Welcome Geoffe,
excuse me, but have you PD or essential tremor? Because as far as I know, normally, propranolol is not prescribed for PD.
What kind of symptoms have you ? Resting tremor, stiffness and bradykinesia? or some other? Are the arms swinging when you walk ?
This issue interests me very much, because I had the tremor (of action) as the symptom of onset, and the right arm doesn't swings too much when I walked.
It is now about five years since I received PD diagnosis and now has added a bit of bradykinesia, but with Neupro Stalevo and other supplements I still can work, and my workmates don't know about my PD, yet.
If Propanolol works well for PD, I will go tomorrow to ask to my doc an explanation.
Many thanks Geoffe.
