See the following link: http://www.rewritetomorrow.eu.com/pd...or-parkinsons/ In the Consensus Statement of the Movement Disorder Society on Tremor 3, four types of Parkinsonian tremor are described: 1. type I – classical Parkinsonian tremor, that is a rest tremor and postural/kinetic tremor at the same frequency, i.e. the rest tremor in this group persisting as a postural tremor 2. type II - rest, postural and kinetic tremors at different frequency 3. type III - pure postural kinetic tremor. This is seen particularly where there is rigidity. This tremor is very similar to the more common ET (See also: Diagnosis) 4. type IV - the monosymptomatic rest tremor, that is a pure tremor at rest which reduces with movement. |

The tremor info is very interesting...THANK YOU. When I went to a neuro ... he said that I didn't have a "typical PD tremor ". Wonder if he ever heard of all of these? Anyway, he said it might be "ET" and to come back in 3 months, that maybe it would "turn into " PD in the future. All this wonderful info for $240. I will be glad when there is an official blood test or something that is diffinitive diagnosis..then I will have
the test for a confirmation. |

Yep, I have atypical PD tremor as well...it never even looked like PD until last year. I honestly think that many experienced MDSs monitor our tremor over the course of a few years because all of this is so hard to definitively diagnose. Of course, there are now links between ET and PD. See this thread started a while back http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ight=essential and this NY Times article on tremor disorder. |
