I have tremors during movement such as eating with utensils and also if I hold my hands out up or out straight without support. I do not have a resting tremor with my hands in my lap. My neurologist believes I have Parkinson's. I suspect it is Essential tremor but he disagrees.

I do not have tremor or any tremors. My neurologists, a movement disorder specialist, told me that about 20% of PD patients do not have tremors. they are likely to have gait problems instead which is what i have.

I thought mine weren't resting tremors too, but you may be resting your elbow on something and that might help you stabilize your tremors. I was diagnosed with Essential Tremor a year before I was diagnosed with PD.

Two questions for you. 1) Are tremors on both sides or one? 2) How is your sense of smell?
