You are not alone, LouiseB! We may not have it as bad as you do, but we are still here. Hope you have a good day!! I will think of you often since this is the first contact I have had with any one at this site. Fake a smile, it may not be real, but it WILL make you feel a little better. BonnieBoop

HUGS ARE LIKE GOOD HAIR DAYS. WE ALL LIKE TO HAVE ONE NOW AND THEN. LOVE YOU
i'm new here, but it looks like you could use a hug!
For the last 5 years the Dr. thought I had Essential Tremor. And in the last several months he mentioned that I might have Parkinson's. This means that my treatment should change, but it hasn't yet.
My original diagnosis was Essential Tremor, and sometimes called Parkinson's Disease. I've had it for about 6 years now. I am taking Propranolol, Aggrenox, and Citalopram (for depression) I get 8-15 Botox shots in my neck every 3 months. Things are getting worse. But I can't give up. I am the caretaker of my husband of 39 years who has Alzheimer's Disease among other things.
