Joel,
I am interested in any responses you get to your question. I am a pwp, with
a mild to moderate tremor as my only symptom. Some days my arm shakes quite
a bit and makes the muscles in my forearm and hand ache. I take benadryl and
ibuprofen in late afternoon and evening with pretty good relief, but it is
progressing steadily, and my neuro has prescribed artane for me, I have not
filled the prescript yet, but I guess the day is coming when I will try it.
As you know it is a very old drug, and is used for pwp'w with tremor as
their only symptom. Anything you know or learn about it's use, I would be
interested in hearing. I have been taking benadryl for almost a year now and
it causes dry mouth, but that side effect has faded away for the most part,
