Oh David, don’t be sorry; these have been going on for most of my life. I could tell funny stories about the “troubles they’ve caused” and never run out of laughing at myself. Actually, never run out making others laugh, too. Nurse turned social worker once told me she’d be crying but it has been said if we laugh the world laughs with us; but cry, and you cry alone. Fortunately or unfortunately I love to laugh xxxheartily, and laughing is rarely hard even with seizures and tremors as the subjects. Besides, there is little in life I have chosen to regret. If I can’t change it I laugh at it.😅🤗
I’m looking forward to your stories.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't know what to say. How long have you had these?

I have Parkinson's and epilepsy. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2016. I have had epilepsy since I was a child. It sometimes happens when I try to talk.

David, I have essential tremor, epilepsy AND atypical parkinsonism; however, please no trophy for such a combination; there’s no pleasure in being a candidate for most tested rat of the year; surely there are more who have been tested; some Guinea pigs perhaps!
