Welcome Coleen,

Though I am not MDoctor the familiar history of your husband togheter with the
involuntary tremors in his hand points it as very likely to be PD in his initial
phase.

Taking in account the reports that has appeared in this list it is possible that
Nutrasweet may contribute to get things worst.

Let us come to know what the doctors says and what they recomend,if you feel 
like to.

Best wishes and friendly regards,
