Hi Sunny126!

I don't know much about PD,so I can't help you there, but I am studying this disease too because I know it runs in my blood line.

I'm being told I have two other diseases, But I am beginning to wonder sometimes if I have PD.

I've been reading the health pages. You might want to go and read them too.

It might help answer your question some what, as you wait on some one else who knows more about this disease, to come along..

I want you to know this is such a wonderful sight!

I have found so much help, concern and people with a world of knowledge here!

Best wishes, I hope you find answers soon!

Hugs!!

There are many other things that can cause hand tremors.  
There are essential and intention tremors. Some people's hands just shake, but they usually shake when they are young.  Some people's hands shake when they are going to reach for something.  
Some medications cause hand tremors.
Anxiety causes hand tremors.  
Some forms of migraines and many other neurological disorders.  
Too much caffeine

Parkinsons is a disease that should be properly diagnosed, not based upon one symptom.  A neurologist would be the best doctor to make that diagnosis.

Yes. It could be essential tremors or tardive dyskonesea.

I would look to get testing - Parkinson's has some gait traits and all, but he needs to run tests, not just proclaim it.
