Questions re "non-tremor form of Parkinson's"
Is there a body of literature distinguishing the "non-tremor form" of PD from other forms? Does this form go by other identifying names besides "non-tremor"? And how clear is the dichotomy between this and other forms? >From Dr van der Linden's description, it sounds uncomfortably close to my situation, so I'd appreciate any sources to which anyone can point me.
