The Orthostatic Tremor Forum (archive)

Hello to all of my OT friends out there. I've mentioned before that the doctor has put me on Sentemet 3 times a day, for my tremors. I went to visit my sister the other day & while we were standing & talking, she noticed I wasn't trembling. I live alone, so I hadn't noticed. I'm very excited...

Hi everyone, I have noticed that my tremors don't seem to be as bad as they were, since I started the Sinemet. My son sent me a video on my facebook page, of a Parkinson's patient that tried marijuana. Within 2 to 3 minutes his tremors stopped. It didn't show how long it lasted, but I was amazed tha...

Hi everyone, it's good to see Lynette is back in civilization again. I hope your stay with your sister & brother-in-law is enjoyable. Thanks for the encouragement Gloria, it's much appreciated. I visited my sister's yesterday & stood for a long period of time talking with my niece. I shook s...

Hello to everyone, Sorry to hear of the disasters Lynette has been going through & I wish her well. Gloria, I went for my appointment with my Neurologist on the 17th, but have been having computer problems. I told here that I still feel that my tremors were brought on by some of the medications ...

Thanks Gloria for responding to my post. I know I didn't have my tremors until I was hospitalized & they had me on some pretty strong meds. :? When I came home from the hospital, is when me & everyone else started noticing the tremors. I no longer take any of those meds, but the tremors are...

I'm 69 yrs. old. I don't know, until I go back to my doctor, to see if OT is connected to restless leg syndrome? I've been plaiged with restless leg since I was in my late 30's. I know when my legs started to shake back in May, I had know idea what was going on. It was nice to go to my neurologist &...

I was just diagnosed with OT on Oct. 18th, 2016. I already can only stand for a few minutes until I need to sit.
Take care everyone

Thanks Mike for your reply. I do fear having to use a wheelchair & am pleased to know that I probably have a while before that happens. Everyone thinks my meds should already be working, I tell them they're not a miracle drug. When I stand for any length of time, I start bouncing like a ping pon...
