Botox For Tremors Caused By Parkinson's Or ET?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have jaw tremors that don't seem to be improving. I've been using CL for several years it helps a little. I've also been taking propranolol for my essential tremors.

I have recently discovered articles about Botox injections to control hand and jaw tremors. Has anyone else read about this, or had Botox injections for this?

So, I'm Trying To Keep Track Of My Symptoms And How Long It Takes For My Stalevo To Kick In.

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My neurologist told me the same thing 18 yrs ago when I was diagnosed....if the meds work it's Parkinsons....simple

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am on meds for my Gerd, but it is not effective anymore. I had my heart checked and an upper endoscopy and the results were fine. I have very little appetite and get severe heart burn and back pain especially after eating. Also, have the same symptoms even if I don't eat. Please share if you have experienced this type of condition. Thanks very much!

ChristinaHughesRie, you just put it in your belly button? You don't eat a teaspoon? Sounds interesting.
