I also upped the battle plan by eating Terry Wahl's recommendation of lots of vegetables for each meal. I also paid a nutritionist to design a meal plan for me, which cuts back on carbohydrates. Miraculously I still have my weight under control.

My main symptom is right hand tremor, which is in retreat. It still flares up badly under stress but there is positive progression. I was diagnosed 13 years ago, so I'm surprised that I've improved as much as I have. I feared that too much brain cell death had already occurred after 23 years (including 10 years of hand tremor before being diagnosed).
