Can A Person Have Essential Tremor And Parkinson S Disease At The Same Time?
I was diagnosed as having Parkinson s in 2008, then told in 2013 that I have Essential Tremors instead. I asked my primary doctor and he believes I have Parkinson s. One of the reasons I was given is that I have been getting worse. I am currently taking Sinemet for tremors and have had very good results. Is there a way I can find out what I have. Should I try and see a different neurologist?

Hello,
I think too that a second opinion by a different Neurologist is necessary at this point. Since Sinemet use is improving your symptoms markedly, Parkinson's is very likely the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
