I have taken isradipine for the past 3 years after learnng about his work.

is it helping me? no idea. what i do know is docs at the nih have told me that they think i'm in the tremor dominant group that has the slowest progression. so it is 10 years now and my pd progression is slow. I take isradipine, chinese supplements, and exercise. (and regular meds) I figure it might take a lot of things to beat the beast.

Jean, is the tremor on both sides of your body? If so, during this ten years, how long did it take to move to the other side? I am assuming it started out one-sided?

one side only
 

Arsippe, My tremor is still on one side only -- the left. And I feel lucky because I'm right-handed.
