Nan, I always appreciate your input, but I wonder if the benefit you see in tremor is only while you're actually doing that procedure, or does it last at all, and if so for how long? I have an unusually bad tremor that nothing seems to touch so far. It's really bothering me and making it hard to do anything. I've tried various meds, yoga, chi gong instructor's ideas, massage, progressive relaxation, etc., etc., but no luck so far, other than very minor & temporary relief, at best, not lasting beyond while I'm actually doing it. In yoga they have to put sandbags on my hands while we're doing the relaxation part so they won't flop around uncontrollably. That does seem to work, but only until the sandbags are removed. I'm not ready to consider DBS yet. Thanks very much for your positive comments on Requip; I hope it may help.
