Would like to hear from others on issues and possible solutions or aids to help with insomnia, tremors, anxiety etc. Non medical replies are also welcome.
I am a retired machinist and was diagnosed with PD 5 years ago. I am still active but have difficulty writing and other small motor skills.

High-dose thiamine. Dosing instructions and other information at the links. Many people with Parkinson's have benefited from this treatment. Allow four months for full effect:
One element of my work involves holding a 5 cm diameter lens between my first finger & thumb & then raising my unsupported arm to eye level in an upright seated position. The lens has to held 40cm from my eye. My meds are good….but not that good!! I’ve repurposed a stand which was designed for something else. The bottom of the stand can be secured. The top part is able to pivot around an X and a Y axis. I wrap my little & ring finger around one side of the stand, my middle finger around the other side & push them together. My first finger & thumb are free to hold the lens and because the stand pivots I can move up/down/Right/Left.
Gripping the stand will hold off the tremor for a few seconds but when it inevitably starts, quickly releasing & regripping the stand will stop it.
I proved to my professional governing body that I was able to see what I needed to see with this technique & I got to keep my job.
Hi! The only known way to reverse the symptoms of PD is to do fast walking for one hour, every second day. It helps with all PD symptoms. There is no cure for PD and no medication which affects the progression of PD. I have had PD with most of the symptoms since 1992 and have lived PD symptom-free since 1998. Try it! It is the on;y known way to reverse PD symptoms.
