Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 65-year-old and otherwise healthy male. After spending the past five years believing that my trembling hands were the result of essential tremor, a second DaT (dopamine transporter) scan (the first one was misread, I guess) and a neurologist at a teaching institution confirmed that I am and have been suffering from Parkinson’s. The medicines that I have been prescribed are carbidopa/levodopa and recently amantadine.
