My Neurologist started me on Primidone 50 mg last March for hand & arm tremors with some jerky voice condition, Took for one week and then to two a night. Have gradually increased and now taking total of 400 mg a day, but tremors continue and feel they are increasing in intensity. Can no longer eat outside my home, for handling a utensil is maddening. My Neurl. 'says' it is Not PD or anything like it, but have not been tested. Am a 66 yr old male. PD was frequent in my family history, with my father living 24 yrs after being diagnosed. I will see my Neurl. in 6 days. Whats wrong with me and what should I be taking ? This is driving me nuts !

Hello and welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.
I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time with those tremors. You could try posting on the Movement Disorders Forum Movement Disorders Including essential tremor, dystonia and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) or Parkinson's Disease Forum There is a forum search feature here. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/search.php I hope you get some answers when you see your Neurologist next week. |

So sorry your going through this Matt. I am in the same boat.
Been having episodes of complete paralysis and episodes of hardly any muscle control. Have a lot of what they call "pill rolling tremor". Always rubbing my fingers together and other tremors. I completely understand what your saying about using a fork. : ( Yeah. Sucks. I am seeing my doctor on the 15th so I will let you know what my doctor says. Let me know what medications you find that help please. These episodes of complete paralysis just started after Thanksgiving. I am thinking Parkinson's Disease. Scared. Terrified. And in severe muscle pain.
