I've been diagnosed with tremor dominant PD for about 4 years and have few other symptoms. I found noticeable improvement on a Ketogenic or low-carb diet the past year and a half. My neurologist tells me to keep doing whatever I'm doing because I'm doing great. I've started Mirapex about 6 months ago and may have some modest benefit from that also. I think it has been helpful to accept and acknowledge my tremor, rather than trying to master something outside my control. I also try to harness any possible placebo effect by having positive expectations for anything I try to do to benefit my condition. Hope you can make peace with your shakiness.
