Hello Teresa, thank you for taking the time to response to my question. I have read through the links that you provided, but none of them seems to fit my uncle’s condition.

My uncle is healthy in general, no other medical condition other than the ones I described. He is also not on any medication currently, except for some vitamins. No exposure to Agent Orange either.

We have seen several neurologists. The first one suspected Parkinson, so my uncle was put on Levodopa, but no sign of improvement after taking the drug for some time, so later the doctor concluded that the initial Parkinson diagnose could be wrong. We also did brain MRI, nothing abnormal was detected.

We went to another doctor, was prescribed Diazepam, but also no effect.

Other doctor only suggested brain vitamins, like BrainAct. The only explanation from the doctor is that it’s a disease associated with old age.

Hello again @agodjali2008

I am really sorry to hear that you have been searching for an answer and have not found one. However, oftentimes neurological difficulties can be very difficult to diagnose. It sounds like you have consulted with a lot of doctors and have not gotten close to a diagnosis or a treatment plan.

Just wondering if your uncle has had any falls related to the tremors? Are these tremors a daily occurrence? Also, what is his level of activity during most days? Does he take walks or is he sedentary?
Has any doctor suggested physical therapy?
