Sorry to hear this, not the club we ever want to join!
I have the resting tremor on my whole right side and by choice have not started meds, I exercise. It works for me, the shakes don’t go away but I sleep and feel better. I am also still managing to work although I have reduced my hours.
Try to keep your “life” going and listen to your body, it will let you know when to rest.
Medication is personal to everyone and what suits one may not another.
Do you have a PD nurse? I have found them so helpful. They will help you out with all your questions.
What I will say is take your time and let the diagnosis sink in.
Take care and message anytime.
Annie
