Lifestyle

 

 Aborting trigger point therapy using foam rollers and massage balls after exercise, taking more time to decompress with stretching instead. 

Abort any high pace activity, anything where quick wide joint movement is needed like running, dancing(I'm going to miss this) and jumping, especially in my neck and back. Try to keep myself from using reflexes like catching falling objects or quickly turning my head to see a surprise. I may try swimming as an outlet for high pace exercise, it's generally safe for anyone at any age and condition.

Aborting coffee- my last cup was Feb 27, replace with high fruit and vegetable diet, gluten free(gluten has proteins that support body tremor), high fat diet(to support nervous system), no added sugar(maybe 2g or 5g here and there), low calorie, Vitamin and mineral supplements (take your Flinstones)

Keep metabolism strong by keeping low weight and reduced caloric intake, constipation is adding to the difficulty of these tremors. I was 5'10" 170lbs, I'm now at mid 160s

Daily concentration to move slow when possible, daily allotment to command all of my body to rest its muscles and be as still as possible especially when sleeping and reading. Use slow fitness training that's low impact like yoga and weight training(slow and controlled always)

Use sleep mask to move blind folded, don't know if this helps but Parkinson's patients have trouble with coordination

Stand while working, only sit to give legs a break from work or lie down inclined/horizontal. No sitting to read, play video games, none of that. Sitting for an hour would only make symptoms worse. Lie down or stand.

Keeping nerve-relieving posture, keep head from leaning forward, pretty much walking like a superhero, I'm using a tip for neck relief here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv6CtwsgPHk

 Woke up too early with no felt tremors- had to urinate. Stayed in bed, slept for an hour or two longer- woke up with mild tremor in upper body  My left arm and hand felt jittery this morning. It resembled the earlier phase, my hands were a slightly twitchy again when I move them Went swimming and became confused at how much time has passed. I always spot the wall clock then track it in order to swim for 30 min after. I started at what I thought was 11:55am then noticed that it 11:30am later. I can't remember if I started at 11:55am or 10:55am. Regardless I made a mental note to leave when the big hand touches 25 after. It did, and I couldn't believe how fast it was. I was just warmed up so I decided to go 15 minutes after. I haven't noticed much vertigo today so far. Hands are still jittery, I think my anxiety amps this

3/2/22 Been experiencing resting tremors for the past two days, I feel them when sitting, standing and lying down. Pretty low profile but sometimes considerably noticeable. It may be an off and on occurrence or nonstop with me ignoring it Later that night I had a slow and meditative hour to read, I believe the tremors stopped or were great supressed as much Went to bed right after and felt it again, I kept my body straight and focused on my breath and the tremors were stopped or suppressed, it was a great enough effort to ignore them. But I noticed exactly where it was coming from: my right leg in the glute area. I felt blood circulating there followed by abrupt muscle twitches in the thigh. Following that my thumb and index fingers twitched in a shorter manner but still as abrupt During bed I also felt more movement in my abdomen than usual followed with sounds

Woke up obsessed with ideas. I let them brew all through breakfast. Dizziness is creeping in, nowhere near full effect but noticed Higher mental stress occurred at work. Balance disorder came in at higher intensity. Manageable still. A nervous left arm as well After a slow and controlled yoga session, my balance was near fully restored Went to drawing group and felt a dose of balance disorder. It felt as if I would randomly lose sense of it in my arm, like my control would just slip momentarily while I drew. I drew well- I was able to hold the pencil still onto paper, but I didn't feel competent. Maybe it had something to do with the past awful interaction I had with the model, it was definitely on my mind as I noticed her presence and I suspect it was on hers as well since she made the effort to ignore me years ago
