Many thanks. To be honest, I haven’t had spasticity at all. I have also looked at clonus quite extensively now because two or three have talked about it, and therefore it is a serious contender.
It does seem as though the vast majority of sufferers have it in the foot, and it exhibits as a very fast up/down movement. An example is given in which happens to be one of the very few involving the wrist as opposed to the ankle. This is maybe 8 Hertz, very fast, and do bear in mind that we can just hear 18Hz! See the octobass in action: where the guy claims that 16Hz is limit of human hearing.
My tremors are somewhere between 1.5Hz and 3Hz, and edging closer to the lower end of that range. So I personally reckon that I suffer from is intention tremor. This is of a much lower frequency and happens most obviously when trying to use a knife or bowing the violin. With the bowing I can sometimes achieve a full bow (well upper 2/3rds) without jerks, although I can still feel them underneath and the brain is working hard to control everything. I sometimes drop the bow! I suppose that these are specific things involving fine motor control, whereas most of my activities involve gross motor control. I will admit to not seeing a neurologist yet.
The questions are: do I use enough time on the therapies/exercises I am doing, and am I doing the right ones?
I will also admit to being confused! One person I read a little while back said that tremors are slowly degenerative. Aaaargh. Another neuro group has said that one can get relief. Others say that it can go into remission. Part of me says that it is a damage somewhere in the brain, and therefore it, like so many other things, is fixable by changing the brain with the correct choice of activities, but this will require me to do the right things. I am very happy to receive thoughts about this.
I may well attend the seminar, despite it being on what I think is a different topic for me!
