New-Need Ones That Can Give Advise to Tremors
 

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 hope you get some answers when you see your Neurologist next week.

Hello & Welcome!!
 

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.

:hug:
