Re: How is everyone?
I agree!the heat and humidity are not good for me either! We are in Massachusetts (anyone else from Massachusetts?) and it'seems we are lucky compared to many other States . Thankfully no floods or tornado, etc. Guess we just plug along and do the best we can ,while we can. Hang in there-soon we wil...

Re: Chair Yoga and Exercise...
Hello, It has been a long time since i have checked in. I too do Chair Yoga twice a week-it is a great feeling afterwards, but has little effect on the tremors. But just feeling good for a while is a plus!! i have rolling chairs all over the house-to cook, do laundry, etc.

Joyce, I have been taking Clonazapam for a few months now. Can't say that it really helps a lot, but it takes the edge off for a while. Also relieves some of my anxiety about it. I take it as needed, but don't want to start taking too much , because there is no where else to go with it. I'm consider...

Joy, you sound exactly like me! No one could tell me what the problem was.I told Dr. after Dr. they all seemed baffled. Finally found a neurologist that told me what it is. I am on Clonazapam. Makes me sleepy if I give into it. But if I just try to keep busy, it helps somewhat. Not as much as I woul...
