Short Bio

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in November 2015. Symptoms have been mainly [right-side] tremor, which has gradually worsened. So far, I can calm it but only if deeply relaxed. Medicaments are 12.5mg/50mg Co-Careldopa [6 taken daily]. They appear to make little difference to the severity of tremor, and I notice no ‘off / on’ periods, which makes me wonder whether they have any effect at all. I would be interested, among other things, in forum members’ experience of tremor control as mine can be pretty exhausting.
