Interesting thought about piano playing, John. I'm having trouble typing these days, and reading and playing music uses the same pathways. When I was learning how to touch type one summer, I found that my sight reading for the piano was much improved. I'm sure I was building new brain circuits with typing which I could use for piano playing. I'm going to try to play on the piano here at work.

John, what position is your good hand in when it tremors? When I meditate, my hands rest on my thighs, with palms up. And during meditation, the fingers on my right hand tremor. I thought that was resting tremor, but my neuro said it was postural tremor because of the position of my hand.

I've continued to drop things and knock things over. In lab, I'm very cautious with every movement that I make and it's enhausting.

My typing is so poor lately. I think it may be from lack of sleep. My sleep schedule has been erratic, and I'm sure that makes symptoms worse.

Made it Up, I, too think it's simultaneous activity that's the culprit. I need to focus on everything I do, not just one thing. Or, better, not use my left hand as much. Thanks.
