I posted this to three other MS forums, and someone on one of those told me about using weights. She has tremors so that it's hard to eat, and said she uses a certain kind of specially made weighted cutlery. I looked them up. The handles are weighted and some sort of rubberized material so that they can be gripped easier than regular silverware.

This person also said that she wears wrist and ankle weights a lot of the time, and that the weights help with her tremors. I found that suggestion also on the NMSS website.

I found all of these items on Amazon.com, and I'm going to make the order today. I'm going to order a weighted teaspoon, tablespoon, and fork. I'm ordering Bell Fitness 3-lb Soft Touch weights. They got the best reviews and seem easiest to put on and wear.

If these items will help in place of more meds, I'm sure willing to give them a try.
