I am so afraid of cutting myself, and plan on purchasing a pair of Klutz Gloves to protect my hands. I know that eventually the tremors will become worse as it is a progressive disease.
My question: Is there anyone else on this board who has similar issues, and how do you get around the process of cutting your fabric. Hubby has eyesight issues, so he really can't help.
My husband has the same thing. He is on a medication for it but it doesn't control it much. Just this past Monday he went in for acupuncture. They told him it would only last for three days. It is now Thursday evening and he has not taken any medication all week and the tremor is very minor. Hopefully this is a good sign
