My husband takes Carbidopa. His tremors have stopped completely. His illness fluctuates so much. He was almost bedridden two months ago. I was searching for a nursing home I could afford. Then all the symptoms went away. He is walking, talking, feeding himself, dressing himself. All I do is manage his meds, wash his clothes, and make his meals. It’s like he has no disease at all. Too strange.

70% of people with PD have a resting tremor. The other 30% don’t have a resting tremor, your tremor is an essential tremor, that doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have PD. I only have a resting tremor when I’m under stress.

Most of my symptoms are non-motor symptoms.

There are medications for your ET. Check with your Neurologist.

RagenaAarnio so is your husband taking the [[treatment:levodopa/carbidopa:55d534f51fcaa397470006dd]] or just carbidopa since it is not generally offered on its own? So do you attribute this recovery to his medication only or could other factors be involved?

I have tried for my Essential Tremor; gabapentin, clonazepam, and topiramate. Any other drugs I could try?
