Welcome to the PD support group on Mayo Connect. From your posts, it appears that you have not been officially diagnosed with PD, but you are having tremors and some gait problems. Is my understanding correct?

If this is so, I would encourage you to get a referral to a movement disorder specialist. These are neurologists who specialize in the type of movement disorders that you have described. It is easy to attribute these symptoms to the aging process, but often a correct diagnosis can put you on the right road with a treatment plan.

Do you exercise regularly, Rodger? Are you experiencing much fatigue?
