Trouble with fine motor skills

[yvonneu]

I have arthritis, Depuytrens and calcification of some of the bones in my hands. When I attempt to do anything like picking small items up my hands tremor slightly. Anyone else experience similar? I also have osteoarthritis in both knees and I'm having cortisone injections on them both tomorrow. Hope they use a numbing gel ! Lol

Hi,yep know what you mean.Have allsorts going on, inc. arthritis ,dupytrens ,M.E nerve damage etc.Best present my friend got me was a grasper- it can pick up a pound coin,pen,feather etc,things I wouldn't ask my most helpful dog to do in case she swallowed it by accident. May help?

Had inj in both shoulders years ago,solved problem then but now not available to me,hope makes the difference. X

yvonneu, the information about thiamine, especially fat soluble forms that have higher livels passing through the blood brain barrier, may also have a positive effect on tremors. The comment about researching thiamine and the brain alluded to that. This link offers evidence of thiamine's role.
