I’ve had Essential Tremors for 9 years, I’m 73 years old. I’m in the VA Healthcare System. The VA Neurologist kept insisting I had Essential Tremor. Finally, he agreed to send me for a DAT Scan, and I learned yesterday that I have Parkinson’s. It is possible to have both. We’ll see what effect the Levodopa prescription has on my symptoms!

Yes, you can have both. I have Parkinson’s and essential tremor. I am 76 years old. Take care of yourself.
