How To Confirm Benign Tremulous Parkinsonism?
I am female and aged 66. Nearly five years ago I was diagnosed with parkinson s disease, although my only symptons have always been a tremor in the right hand and when tired, a slight tremor in the right leg. My dat scan showed abnormality on one side of my brain only. Could I have benign tremulous parkinsonism or am I clutching at straws?

Hello,
I think that a positive DAT scan along with tremulous one half of body in this age is highly suggestive of a Parkinson's disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
