Like Paula, I do not have tremor, but handwriting and typing are a major problem. I have noticed, however, that 1.) I make fewer typos if I watch the monitor as I type. 2.) I can write a little more legibly if I write on graph paper, and 3.) When I accidently picked up a broad tip calligraphy pen, I was able to form quite acceptable letters. I do not know why????
