Tremor make it hard to eat soup? Salad? Food in general or maybe holding a cup causes you to spill. The first thing you can do is get a sippy cup...or a cup like you use for driving and drinking coffee. Most of you have figured this one out. Another thing ive found usefull is to purchase wrist band training gloves. They are lead weights that you can velcro to your wrist like athletes do. There are also weighted fingerless gloves as well. These help in two ways....the weight stabilizes some of your tremor and the use in general keeps your muscles a bit more fit just because of the added weight. Hang tough...cheers!

The best way to fight Pd is by doing High intensity aerobic exercise, which prduces BDNF and GDNF which repairs the damaged Glial cells and that produces more dopamine. I was diagnosed in 1992 qnd by 2002 I was able to sytop taking any Pd medication and have been Pd medication-free since them I am now 87.

I am not hijacking your post I am responding with a perfectly acceptable answer to your question. If you wanted only 'medical treatments' then that is what you should have asked!

Thanks. It looks very interesting. Does she know anyone with PD that's used it? I have tremors basically all over. I'm curious if it just works on your hand or calms down the whole body.🥊
