You are indeed fortunate Laura to have your tremors under control - my husband would give anything to have the same.

Perhaps he ought to talk to the neurologist about beta-blockers when we next go?

Last October I bought an exercise bike, but since using it for ten minutes daily, his arm tremors are considerablly worse, and I'm wondering if the cycling could have caused this.

Any advice would be gratefully received.
