Tremor control

60 yo make. Dad had Parkinson's. I seem to be "pill rolling" a lot lately, but not sure if it's just a nervous tic. ( I'm ADHD too). The finger rolling comes on by itself but I can stop it once I notice it. I've never been diagnosed.
Is it possible to control parkinson's tremors or should I just chalk this up to "nerves".

  1. My grandmother had the habit of pill rolling. She passed away at 94 and never showed any signs or symptoms of Parkinson’s.To reassure yourself I would suggest you see a movement disorder specialist to determine if this is an early symptom or indeed just a nervous tic. I tended to pill roll for years before I was diagnosed and could also control it when I became aware that I was doing it. Thea DeStephano Community Team Member
