@sebutler and @louismines--
I have these too. I have not heard of it as jitters until your post and maybe we are all saying the same thing but it's just different for each of us. @sebutler I'm sorry yours are not tolerable--and I pray you get some relief. the only way it was explained to me is they are internal tremors--sometimes they are more like "jitters" meaning they're not as intense as my tremors. and other times they are intense but yet still internal--I can feel the shaking all down my leg and yet it's not visibly shaking. I mentioned that I use the beech band--and it works wonders for all my tremors. I know some have said they don't like it and I understand everyone is different. Just sharing what works for me. Praying for you both to get relief.

@emmit makes since but what is beech band
@emmit
I thought I was alone with my internal tremors which is my primary symptom. I was diagnosed with PD a year ago and have gotten no relief from Levidopa, no matter what the dose . My neurologist took me off the Levidopa and has me trying Amantadine which hasn't helped. Since there seem to be a lot of us out there with the "jitters" it seems hard to believe that there is no treatment. How did you ever discover the Beech Band? It seems like that is the only thing that might work for me. Many thanks for sharing.

@emmit Thank you!! It's so useful to hear other experiences. Yes, I think we are all saying the same thing, but it just manifests differently for each of us.
