The tremor started just a few months before moving into a house that we built. At the time we had a 3 and 4 year old, I was working and we were building a house. Yes, lots of stress.

We are on well water. We have had the well tested for safety, but I honestly don't remember the predominant metals in the water. Our toilet tanks get coated w/ a rust colored element. The water in this area is known for being "good", but really I need to check into this more.

I have seen several doctors and have tried; cold laser therapy, acupuncture, Vit B shots, Oats drops in warm water, a homeopathic remedy w/ octupus ink in it, massage, and a couple of medications perscribed by a neurologist - both of which were horrible - made me sleepy. I am not a fan of taking medication, so am looking for other ideas. I have even considered the brain surgery, but it really isn't something that I would ever want to do at this point.

I am reading about Magnesium and Iodine both of which I'd like to try. Which kind of Magnesium should I start with and do you have any other ideas for me?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
