I'm a 56 year old mother of 4 grown children, and grandmother of 2 boys. I started having symptoms of "something" a few years ago, but they made no sense. Mostly memory issues. My father had essential tremors, and now has Progressive Supra Nuclear Palsy, which isn't good. I was first diagnosed a month ago with ET, but my dr. believes that I actually had Parkinson's. My symptoms are extreme for ET. And I am progressing quickly.
