Rick, even though I have monitored BT2 since its inception and was a very infrequent poster on BT1 you had to go and get a thread that I can't let go.

While I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop, I am still not in need of medications and unless there was something closer to perfect then I choose to avoid any side effects.

My primary symptom is tremor of the right hand/forearm and stiffness in the fingers and while subtle all the symptoms are there.

With that introduction -- I have tried just a simple rubber band in various places on the forearm and feel generally more comfortable, fewer tremor instances and a decrease in amplitude when it does occur. I feel there is some effect on the stiffness and finger tapping ability but very little. It seems to be important to change the position of the bands every few hours. I will try a tensor bandage type of band.

Questions?
Why no noticeable effect from a watchband?
Why no noticeable effect from socks?
What is the similarity to acupuncture pressure points?
What has happened with the fellow that had permanent acupuncture?
