What is Essential Tremor? 

You've had shaky hands since you were a kid ? Has it progressed a lot ? Have you had an official diagnosis?

Maybe you just have ants in your pants.

I could understand if i am stress it attacks my legs

I had the shakes when i was teenager i had it and at the time my parents never new why when i was in my 40 s it just got worse and my memory also was geting there so i went to doctor they said a tremors

Same problem brother..my hands sake from when i was kid ..now am 38 its getting so much hard for me..i have two kids praying to God don't go mine to them..😢😢😢😢😢

I'm similar. I'm 23 and just got diagnosed. I'd been getting bursts of shaking for a few years and kept being told to not worry about it, it's probably just anxiety until I got diagnosed.

@@callum7842 do you get any medicine? My neurologist is trying some medicine with me its not as strong as I would want because I feel like it doesn’t completely take away my shaking but because Im young he doesn’t want to take away all my choices if it gets worst in the future 😅

I'm 48 and I've been told I was born with it. I too was put on Propranolol. I do see a little help with it but not much.

Change of diet. Really helps Mediterranean diet. Drinking enough water Eating foods good for the nervous system

Grounding yourself helps alot. Walking barefoot on the grass or swimming in the ocean

Don't drink coffee

Oh, I feel you, same here.

Same here, and getting worse the older I get

Don’t lose faith! It has to get better! Sending you positive energy!

Same I’m not gonna last much longer

@@tommypresley6598 @steve8803 Don't let it get to you, I just tell myself I'm normal it's the rest of the world that isn't. God made me this way for a reason. You got to have a sense of humor with this. like drinking a glass of milk? Now you have a milk shake... lol Please stay positive, I have this too and I know how you both feel.

​@@tommypresley6598there's propanolol, you should look into it.

I have the same simptoms. For me, it helped me to talk freally about it and not give a big deal. I accepted it as a part of my life

Yeah, had to quit all weight training about 5 years ago. I'd feel fine for a few hours after the session but later, or the next day I'd ceel so bad and tremors would be he'll. I actually used to think my shaking was because my neck must have been weak so trained it extra hard, had a massive neck but tremors was worse 😂

My friend good luck with the surgery and I wish you the best but could you please do me a favor and let me know about your situation after getting it done because I would like to get it done too but I can't do it now because I don't have any Insurance....thanks so much...tony from NJ

I need help

@@user-sj3uz8qt7y my friend I don't understand you

Good luck! Post your results please. I signed up for this amazing surgery. 4 long months ct scan, mri, neuro assessment, complete med clearance labs, xrays, ekg all mixed with excitement and anxiety. 9 days before surgery, on the morning of hospital preop, neurosurgeon np called! Oops 4 mo ago my ctscan showed skull score and skull density ratio disqualified me!!!! What?? My sdr was 0.39. Must be 0.40. University medical school! Very 1st test was ctscan - all other tests and additional 3 months not necessary! But moving on. Have started botox injections and so far happy. The upside is it treats both hands and my chin.l although it’s ongoing and not permanent. The focus ultrasound is only 1 hand.

Take some acid or some dmt it’ll come right back 🤣

Same here, left arm, my employer used to think I was nervous which I do get like everyone but not all the time and unlike most I shake uncontrollably and the head too and the worst is you feel it and so are self conscious so over time I developed anxiety. I remember being nervous younger it never felt like this but soon as I put some weight on it all went down hill, I also have high blood pressure so always thought it was a combination of all of that. When I drink alcohol which I do almost never it goes away completely and I feel normal but then I think alcohol increases blood pressure so it can't be that. Funny story I had a bike accident a few years back and damaged my left hand so I ended up in hospital and the nurse was bandaging it and I had to hold it in a awkward position which made it act out worse and she must've thought I was nervous or scared because she said "you brave brave man" as she was wrapping it and as funny as that was it was worse than the accident. I had to explain what it was, she asked me if I saw the doctor about it and I tried but they just kept telling me to come back in two weeks because they thought it was a temp neurological thing and that went on for about 2 months until I didn't go back anymore. Have you had any luck with your vitamins?

I take propranolol as well. Twice a day works best for me.

Hi how are you it get worse or no??

@@everydayfeels5655 sometimes the shakes come worse if i am calm it slows down

We are not aware of any nutritional supplements that calm tremor.

@@EssentialTremorIETF thank you

@shikichi thank you

There are several treatments, including medication and surgical options for severe cases. There is no cure and we are still learning about what causes it so better treatments can be developed.

@@EssentialTremorIETFI've decided when I die my brain goes to science.. If anything I hope that it helps us have a better understanding of it. It's quite minor now, but my dad has it real bad and I know it eventually leads to a really bad time in our final years. I think the biggest problem right now is there is not enough understanding of the disease, there are most likely multiple causes and once we learn more about it there will probably be a lot more terms and diseases classified that roll up to the ET umbrella. Afterall it's a symptom classification and not really the cause

Same

Yes-yes movement and no-no movement if head ...indicates head tremor

No tremors since?

How are you now? It get worse or no???
