Hello. I joined this forum to seek advice for my 79 year old father who has had tremors in his left hand (only) for approximately six months. I noticed the tremor while he was walking yesterday during a Thanksgiving visit. I do not know if they occur while he is at rest. He has also become confused and disoriented. His face looks "long" and he used to grimace/blink hard (difficult to explain); his mouth is open a lot of the time. Do these symptoms indicate Parkinson's Disease? I understand that Essential Tremor and PD are often confused.
We are dealing with a resistant individual who will be difficult to get in for an evaluation. Any advice you have for me is much appreciated. I apologize if I have posted a redundant question! Amy |
