Hmmm, interesting. Thanks for your thorough reply and tips. I got a call to schedule the exams but I deferred for now. I am very interested in the outcome of the "Parkinson's Glove" trial going on at Stanford as the procedure would be SO much less invasive. Of course there is also HIFU, the marketing of which is highly aggressive, but I would rather wait and see for a bit on that too. My tremors are quite bothersome and a bit embarrassing, but my daily workouts seem to be keeping them at bay without Levodopa, so I want to be careful in this decision. Thanks for your input and advice.

Hello @tedalmon

How are you doing as you investigate the different trials that you mentioned in your last post? Did you receive any information on the Parkinson's Glove trial?

In general, are your PD symptoms better controlled?
