Re: Welcome Barbara and son/tremors

[Guest guest]

Hi Barbara:

Welcome to you and your son to . I started having tremors at 14.

Amitriptilyne does help to reduce my tremours, but it caused me to have a dry

mouth. My dentist prescribed " Salagen " (pilocarpine) x 5mg. This does help and

also helps to prevent dental decay caused by a dry mouth. Saliva is important to

good teeth.

My son who I suspect has CMT started to have tremours at 15.

I do recall on several occasions that people thought I was nervous. (slow

dancing, golfing - especially putting, trying to use a screwdriver, etc. etc.).

I did not know what was causing the tremors until I was 50 years old.

I lived a lifetime not knowing - but CMT sure did answer a lot of questions

about my health. Let your son he is not alone when it comes to tremors, and they

can probably be controlled.

Regards and Welcome
