I'm helping a friend with some research and what would you say are the biggest tremor related diseases?

Essential tremor
Parkinson's
...


thanks for any ideas

are you polling to determine knowledge of tremor related diseases by individuals with PD, or is this a question of what diseases have tremor as a symptom? If the later applies, access the following:

Funny I was just reading that Thankyou very much for the link, it has what I'm looking for except for the numbers. I'm trying to create a chart that would look like:

x number of people have tremor related diseases
of that x, x% have PD, x% have ET,...

Thank you again Olsen

Check out the advocacy site for Essential Tremor patients - Tremor Action Network and scroll down until you get to the Movement Disorder Society info on the home page. Frankly, I don't think stats are known on this disorder as well and increasingly in the research I see it linked to Parkinsonism-that is it may be a continuum kind of thing. I was diagnosed with ET six years prior to my PD 'upgrade'- when it comes to tremor I am atypical for both disorders. Seems I could be a poster child for the yet undiscovered "shaky freak of nature syndrome"? Oh, and check out their survey- they are starting to collect data on tremor, it looks like.

Thanks Laura

I was diagnosed with ET before an "upgrade" too. They are stll unsure that it's PD for me since I didn't respond to Stalevo.
