DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) surgery while you are awake really controls essential and Parkinson's tremors. They slightly bleed through occasionally, but DBS really stops the worst (in my opinion) PD symptom. -----Original Message----- From: mschild Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 11:36 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Weighted utensils > For that reason, I am researching the effectiveness of weighted > utensils or any other adaptive equipment that may assist with eating > by means of reducing tremors. I am ( was) a physiotherapist and my partner had PD for 20+ years with tremor+++. I don´t think any appliance will help with tremor. The best bet is to adjust the meds and the timetable so meals take place during a time with less tremor. maryse ex cg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
