Idiopathic tremor

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

I am currently treating a man in his 70s with severe resting tremor in both

hands. He has been thoroughly investigated and there is no clear cause, although

there seems to be a family history. He had a TIA a few years ago (well after the

tremor developed), and has been dx with polycythaemia. He was put on digoxin and

warfarin, again well after the tremor had developed.

I have tried using various relaxing herbs to absolutely no avail. Bartram gives

Datura as an option, but I would really like to hear of people's experiences of

treating tremors and maybe think of other possible types of treatment for this

man if herbal medicine can offer nothing. He has tried tranquillisers from his

GP and also acupuncture - both made no difference.

All ideas and suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks

Dear All,

Not sure if this email got through the first time. However, could I draw your

attention to it again and ask for advice.

Thanks
