Thanks so much for getting back to my post. Unfortunately this was my 3rd opinion w/ DAT scan. Originally they thought essential tremors but the deciding factors to seek the DAT were - one sided tremors (my right), rigidity, and whenever I seem to lean forward I fall. The tremors are also constant. The mirapex seems to be helping a little but oddly enough I'm noticing more symptoms since daily dosing.

My wife also swears that my gate is off, she says I'm taking much smaller steps and I haven't noticed that myself.
