Denise1952 (Crescent City, CA) on 02/25/2023:

I have some improvement since going on a basic Ketogenic Diet and stuck with it especially because it brought my HbA1c, as well as daily Type 2 Diabetes testing. 2 years and one month into all that, including regular walking & weight-training. I also lost 30 lbs and am at a normal weight now. I still have the tremor which seems to be related heavily on my anxiety issues, so I have to work on not just diet/exercise but the anxiety. The meds they gave me many years ago make me feel calmer but really I'm addicted to it, Clonazepam. Luckily I've never gone over 1mg per day and am now down a 1/4 tablet each day, and trying to go for just .5 mg this next months dose.

Since I was very young, maybe even before I started school, it progressed. If I had to get in front of a class or got angry I would get the shakes. Now I feel my anxiety is worse with difficult people to be around so I am beginning to isolate which is also related to depression I've had off and on for years as well.

Anything supplement-wise, or herbal, I am willing to try but all the info here I don't see any newer info, 2020 or newer lets say. My symptoms all show in my head that jerks left-right and my left hand is the worst, but have it in both hands. I notice it the most when stopped in traffic and feel everyone can see me so naturally, it shakes the worst. Also trying to do things like video-chat with family, putting on make-up is out of the question, and drinking or eating. Also, if I have to sign my name, or write anything, rather than type it, it's just scribble. Embarrassment makes it worse.

Please help if you can as I will be waiting and hoping for feedback,

PS Supps I take now:

Magnesium Citrate 500mg 2 x day

Turmeric (for all they say it's good for)

Starting D-3 again now

PS I notice as I sit here typing calmly I'm hardly shaking at all, but as the day goes by, it can get worse for the reasons I mentioned above. I've been to neurologists but they gave me Topomax which did nothing for me at all. I don't want another drug, and won't take anything since finding I couldn't just get off the clonazepam.
