Botox For Tremors Caused By Parkinson's Or ET?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have jaw tremors that don't seem to be improving. I've been using CL for several years it helps a little. I've also been taking propranolol for my essential tremors.

I have recently discovered articles about Botox injections to control hand and jaw tremors. Has anyone else read about this, or had Botox injections for this?

The side effects scare me too, so does DBS. I have been using carvdopa/ levadopa, I have also had side effects from this.
It seems sometimes that with PD you can't win.
