Over the \u00a0twenty-four years I\u2019ve lived with essential tremor, I\u2019ve found ways to deal with the annoying eating and drinking problems caused by tremors. I\u2019d like to share them with you.<\/p>\n

Tall drinking glasses are like me:\u00a0 top-heavy.\u00a0 They are easy to tip over.\u00a0 Using wide, bottom-weighted drinking glasses has saved me from spilling drinks more times than I can count.\u00a0 You can ask a waiter for a low ball glass like the one on the left below at a restaurant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heavy knives, forks and spoons are easier to handle.\u00a0 Their weight means they don\u2019t respond as much to hand tremors.\u00a0 There is no need to reinvent the wheel.\u00a0 I found what I needed advertised to help arthritis sufferers.\u00a0 The utensils in the picture below, Oxo Good Grips, with broad slightly weighted handles, have helped counteract my tremor and made eating easier.\u00a0 I found them online under \u201caids for arthritis.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0I wonder if a wrist weight would help as well.<\/p>\n

\"Three<\/a><\/p>\n

Please add your tips on this or other issues.\u00a0 Help with handwriting for a person with hand tremors is something I\u2019d like to read.\u00a0 Post it on this blog.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
