Type of Tremor
Subject: Type of Tremor
Doctor is saying I have noticed a shuffling gait, s/l todalol tremor and some cogwheel rigidity. It may just be a simple non-medical work, but I can't be sure.
TIA
Delirium Tremor
Subject: Delirium Tremor
I believe the doctor is saying delirium tremor, but there's no mention of alcohol abuse and when I googled that's what I take it Delirium tremors are. Just to make sure, though, is there another type of tremor that starts with a "D". TIA.

Subject: DB to nystagmus?
I can't tell what this guy is saying! The first sentence...Neck was not stiff....is very clear. Can't tell if a period goes after stiff because then I hear jumbled words something about...to the stagmus...but stagmus isn't a real word.
Looking around there is stuff about stiff neck and nystagmus.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what this guy might be saying. It sound somewhat like the sentence below...what would DB possible be?
Neck was not stiff as a DB to nystagmus
I'm stumped.

Doubt antistigmatic--not a word. Astigmatism is something entirely different. There is no reference in Stedman's ophth for antistigmatic, but do believe they mean nystagmus for "eyes jump." Can you leave a blank? The author apparently doesn't know the correct word to use. Maybe the context of the sentence will help you.
