Holding on to any device that emits strong vibrations for some minutes seems to relieve tremors for some hours. The "viraball" is specifically designed for the purpose. I happen to have this device on hand which works very well: amazon.com/gp/product/B0010...

But it is a bit awkward to hold on to. I Imagine there is something cheaper out there that will work.

I hate to suggest a medical option for obvious reasons, but I have found that 10mg of propranolol gets rid of my tremors after 30 mins. It is by far the best option for me.

I have had some success with Gabapentin 100mg and Ashwagandha (Ayurvedic) as well although not as powerful as propranolol. Sometimes, Propranolol acts in 15 minutes or less depending on my most recent meal.

A word of strong caution. Propranolol can also cause hypotension as it's a blood pressure reducing medicine as well

For me, I find that keeping up to date with my meds gets rid of most of my tremors.

The levodopa controls my tremor, but when the effect is over, the tremor occurs punctually

Propranolol caused severe rash on me.

I realize that this is well into the world of experimental, but my wife has great tremor control with the DIY Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset gloves. Your mileage may vary.

We've seen number of people using the Neuradiant 1070 device report diminished tremors, better sleep and motor fluidity. Clinical trial data from previous dtudy of 1070nm t reamscra ial stimulation showed people with PD reporting improved function. See quietmindfdn.org for more information.

Greetings from Spain, Europe. This device is cheap and seems to work very well. It is under construction but you can sign up for a waiting list to buy it. It is cheap, about 350 euros and it is very discreet. Web de Cue 1 : charconeurotech.com/registe... His Youtube channel with tests with people with tremors: youtube.com/@charconeurotech ( I have essential tremor; well, me and about 8 cousins from my family )

Thank you Gena, have they put it on the market in Spain yet? Have you purchased it? I have been on the waiting list for years. I often get their emails with the progress made but...not even a shadow of the device. Hello 👋

No.... but they say that they have already sent the devices to those listed on the first list; Those of us on the second list have to wait until 2024. Greetings

i have two of these in my bed ... for many months, as i lay on my back -- i drape my arm over each one and lightly grip with my hands

1. it instantly "masks" my thousands of very mild INTERNAL tremors ...

2. long term benefit? hard to say ...

3. you can find this even cheaper on ebay for about $60

best of luck to you!

welcome and here's another amazing thing about the massager ... they last and last and last and last ... I typically have mine on for 10 hours straight ... every single day ... I couldn't sleep without them ... (i don't take any drugs) ...

They last me well over a year before I have to replace them.
