Hello 7881188,

I'm a retired (high school teacher) 70 year old woman with a clean diet who exercises 5-6 times weekly. I read articles and studies and listen to webinars about all kinds of tremors because my own tremors freak me out. Mine are a symptom of Parkinson's Disease for which I was diagnosed 6 months ago.
This may be a no-brainer but I recommend you go to YouTube and type in Osteopathic Tremor as the subject you want to explore. THERE'S A LOT!!!

I began copying titles and websites from YT for the MAYO CLINIC audience, but grew tired, so I'm simply telling you or anyone interested about this fantastic resource. I've learned a lot of valuable info about PD that my doctor, neurologists and Movement Disorder Specialist never mentioned to me (probably because they didn't know, due to being overwhelmed themselves seeing, diagnosing and treating patients with standard protocol). My own research and conferring with friends, family, (I'm fortunate to personally know specialists in the field), and doctors have provided me with an expansive understanding about PD's complexity. I'm now near to deciding on undergoing a treatment that's not mainstream.

Coping with symptoms and deciphering at times conflicting information about diseases, disorders, and syndromes can be exhausting and discouraging, but we must advocate for ourselves! There is much to be hopeful about!

I wish you all the best!

I just got back from Mayo where I was diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy and orthostatic hypotension - which I’ve been dealing with for years. I’m tired all the time. Can sleep for too many hours. Also dealing with anxiety
