Severe tremor

[Smudge28]

I was diagnosed in 2013 and until recently the tremor didn't bother me too much, but now it is so much worse l have trouble getting off to sleep and then frequently waking after short intervals. Is there a magic fix?

Same problem - tremor was interfering with sleep. Cinnamon helping me reduce tremor. Sleeping better. My report here: healthunlocked.com/cure-par...

Thanks for the info. However I’m confused: in your report, it indicates tremor wasn’t improved. Am I missing something?

[park_bear in reply to TeamPG]

Thanks for reading and for pointing that out. I have added the following update to the text:

Update October 2024

In 2020 I had mild tremor. Having neglected cinnamon, as of 2024 I had bad enough tremor to interfere with my sleep. At this time there has been improvement and I am sleeping better.

Great news! Thank you for the update.

I see that you took a powdered form. Do you see any reason why capsules wouldn’t work?

[park_bear in reply to TeamPG]

Capsules ought to work

[TeamPG in reply to park_bear]

Thanks for the input. I decided to order the powder that you used. How long did it take for you to notice results?

[park_bear in reply to TeamPG]

8 weeks for full effect, maybe notice improvement in half that time. It works gradually so it can be hard to fully appreciate. I recommend self administering the UPDRS as a way to track. You can find that here: parkinsons.va.gov/resources...

30 mg mitizipine worked for my hwp

Have you thought about DBS? I had the surgery one year ago. I have zero tremor now.

[amykp in reply to Spuddy2]

What Spuddy said! I don't have personal experience (yet) but have been told DBS can fix tremor, maybe better than other things.

Although it seems like it should go without saying, do your homework before you consider brain surgery. If you are going to go there you should consider FUS as well.

Try proponolol yet? What are you currently taking?

I was just curious as to what kind of tremor you have, since there are so many different ones. We are dealing with a head tremor (the "no-no") and intermittent hand tremor at rest. I keep wondering if and/or when this will worsen and what to do about it in terms of prevention. I hope some of the suggestions below will help you and in turn will help me. It's very confusing because everyone is different. Good luck to you.

I too have head tremors and when I was diagnosed (in 1018) the Neurologist told me that there were no medications that would help it. Only option was DBS. I decided to live with it.

I tuck my hand under my pillow as weight helps calm it

I tuck my hand under the pillow. That helps to reduce the tremors. Also, stretch my arm and hold side of the bed help reducing it while I am going to sleep.
