He takes coq10, turmeric,reservatrol, alphalipoic acid.

Is there anything that helps with tremor? It is hard to see him like this..

I take no meds, one year on from dx. Tremor in left hand worsening.

Interestingly, after following Aunt Bean's posts on here, I have been growing Fava beans ( broad beans ).
On Saturday I ate one raw ( about 4 inches long - both pod and beans )
2 hours later I hardly had any tremor ( but I also had several drinks too )
If something would stop eating the plants, I could continue the experiment

...but you are supposed to check for favism before eating .......
