Hi Jim,
I'm a registered dietitian, so I won't comment about the medication
regimen; regarding your comment about beer, however, I agree with your
neuro. For one thing, beer is a good source of four B vitamins and
chromium.
Many of my clients enjoy beer or other drinks, and some say that their
tremor is lessened with one or two drinks. A few have reported that
their gait and/or balance is worsened, however. You are the best judge
of how alcohol affects you.
Best regards,
Kathrynne
