If you look at non motor symptoms such as constipation reduced sense of smell rem behaviour disorder nightmares and then small handwriting these symptoms can go back ten to fifteen years prior to diagnosis.

Although you may get diagnosed today you could have had symptoms for many years.

I wonder if it still gives good results for people with either no visible tremor or those with a tremor in their non dominant hand?

I would like to encourage people to visit the link posted for John Schappi's blog. He has been so helpful to me since my diagnosis last September. I would love to be able to thank him personally.

I was diagnosed 2010 with a left side resting tremor, but I've had a mild tremor in my left hand since I was in my teens
