I’m 21 years old and this year my tremor got a lot worse. I live my life worrying and stressing about the future and what is to come with this tremor. My head nods when I speak to people, my legs shake when I stand up and my fingers are always on the move etc. it’s killed my self esteem and confidence and I was once a very confident happy young man. Now I don’t speak to anyone, if I do I keep my head down and most of the time I worry about coming across as rude to the person I’m speaking to
I just want it to stop, I want it to go away or just for a day even, just to live 1 day stress free. My parents worry about me because of how depressed and stressed I have become at it’s uncomfortableness. My doctor has put me on prolanolol or whatever it’s called and it doesn’t seem to help with the head shaking but for the hands it does sometimes.
If you’re suffering, you’re not alone, and I understand you’re pain I truely do
Thanks for sharing. I'm 31 and have had it since I was 26. Started with the head nods and moved to my hands and sometimes full-body tremors, like my spine itself is shaking. I also have problems socially now because of it, everything you said I understand completely. I take propranolol 40mg 3x a day and it helps a lot. Also, cut out any stimulants including nicotine. Nicotine makes it much worse for me which sucks because I'm addicted to vaping. You're not alone either brother.
Thanks for sharing i have the exact same problem you described
Keep strong my brother and don’t give up
im 21 too and the tremors started a year ago, went dormant for a few months and now its back way worse than before and way more frequently. its so embarrassing, it happens at work, or when im with my friends or even home alone it happens. its just embarrassing because i dont know what it is or how to explain it to people who dont get it. and i cant control it at all
@@raven3511 Did your tremors come suddenly ? What were the first symptoms you noticed ?
I love how positive this lady is, most of the videos of people filming themselves regarding their knowledge of these type of things are very pessimistic and cold to hand out information that pinches your nerves I love how she mentioned that balance can be helped by exercise where others would just come up w some bs statement like “it’s gonna get worse” or “there’s no cure” 😊
Thank you for doing this video!!! I have Essential Tremor throughout my body along with a slight torticollis dystonia. I have been experiencing balance and memory issues and I become very frustrated when people tell me my symptoms are normal for being 53. So glad to hear I'm not crazy! I agree with you that we need to push through life and not shrink back. It's difficult to do things when it's uncomfortable, but it's better than being a prisoner in our home.
Charisse Mollohan I have had ET now for 22-years. Mine started in my left had, and was not affecting my work performance. I was an excellent typist, but now that both hands are affected; it takes me forever to type anything. I notice my voice shakes a bit now, and if I am very stressed my neck will shake a tiny bit; also, I have troubles walking on a treadmill. My husband helps me do more, & more like: measuring ingredients, chopping, and shaving.
I also have a tremor mostly on my right arm especially the hand, i am 53 and have noticed when i wake in the morning, I am so unbalanced i can't walk in a straight line, question did this happen to you too? oh yeah i have a terrible memory
My experience with essential tremors started a year ago... both hands affected and I've noticed associated heavy sensations in the shoulder region/back of neck... symptoms come and go, I've noticed symptoms generally better when I'm stress free
Help
i was on Depakote for 7 years for a seizure disorder This is how Depakote affected me it caused massive weight gain, memory loss, a severe hand tremor a one point i stoped eating i had no appetite i was severely depressed and suisidal . i was taken off but still had a small tremor this is my personal experience of the medication and i know that everyone will react differently to any kind of medication
now i have a tremor in my left hand as it is my non dominant and my right hand also shakes not a big shake but i can feel it even if no one sees
I turn 50 this year and it's been the worst year with my shaking. I've been a welder for 30 years now my shaking is so bad I can't weld anymore and I also noticed my head nods alot more than last year. I feel so uncomfortable with my head shaking it give me a bit of a headache. I lost my job this year along with my health care. I'm hoping I get this job I applied for, it's not my career job of welding but I'll take it just to get health insurance. Hope to see a neurologist as soon as I can.
Hi Martha, I was wondering if you were aware that there has been evidence that lots of exposure to the fumes of burning welding rod flux has been known to cause Parkinson's like symptoms.
how are you nowadays
I wish you well and I pray you get better my friend
When I force my hands to stay still I can feel a built up of tingly energy in my wrists, like a built up for shaking.
That’s sounds kinda bad idk tho who am I right
Me too!
I feel that.... I'm 195cm tall and strong but i like to work with fiddly small and delicate tasks restoring old items... Finally a reason that explains why i just don't seem to be able to improve my accuracy with small tasks. Shaking is a regular part of life. And to not do it gives me muscle cramps and all sorts of pains/strains.
Same
Part of the problem is that we have to concentrate for our hands not to shake
I’m 16 and got full body essential tremor last year seemingly randomly... I feel like I have nothing to look forward to since apparently it worsens with age :’/
I'm 15 and I have an essential tremor in my hands and I'm also scared and annoyed with the fact that it could worsen with age. I just try and stay positive about it :)
How it is now ?
@@usamashahzad6029 mine has gotten better because I’ve done less school with less typing cause of winter break. Whenever I do typing, writing, or drawing or anything like that I notice it gets worse and shakes more. I’ve also stopped drinking caffeine or anything that can worsen it. Without the whole school part with typing or writing my still does shake but less often.
Does exercises decrease these tremors like streghtening hands and arms ?
And one last thing does anxiety and stress aggravate it? I am experiencing stress and they got worse.
My dads side of the family passed down tremors. Everybody in our bloodline has it starting in infancy. I always thought it made me different and it was special in a way. Kind of like a family inheritence. I think im starting to realize how much it really has affected me over my lifetime and im starting to consider treatment for it so that one day, when my son is old enough, he can make his own decision about it knowing everything that i know about treatment options and the process. My dad took parkinson medicine when he was a kid and my grandma told me he had way too much energy and she took him off of them. But its always made me wonder if thats why im always tired and always need to sit down. Maybe its not an excess of energy that i will get but instead the energy that i will gain since it wont be wasted trying to keep my body still.
Essential tremors run in my family too. My Neurologist has me on a Parkinson's medicine that got rid of my tremors and does not make me hyperactive. He prescribed Carbidopa- Levadopa 25mg- 100mg. 1 pill 4 times a day It took awhile to get the rIght dose but it made a total difference. I set alarms on my phone since it is necessary to take medicine on time. I hope this helps you. Pat
I have PPMS and my worst symptom is progressively spreading essential tremors. What started as a tremor in my right thumb four years ago...now affects over 3/4 of my body. My left leg is not affected yet...that’s it.
I have full body tremors on my left side only.It starts in my left hand or my head will pull very violently to the left sometimes causing my neck to pop.I have realized when they are really bad they make me fall in the floor or if I'm holding something when it happens I will drop it.Noone in the medical field so far has been able to help me.Do u have any advice?
Thank you. This video answered most of my questions.
Does anyone have twitches and spasms in hands? My tremor more focus on head n kneck could this b a new systom? Do you wake with head shaking?
I have a little from time to time if my stress levels go up or forget to eat. My dad had surgery to have something hooked to his brain and his heart for it. Bad thing is it’s starting to get worse for him. I don’t know what else there is to do since idk if the doctor he has is helping enough.
My hand started twitching at work, not noticeable but when I was doing some paperwork, it was difficult to write neatly, like I normally do. I've never experienced this before but my writing was a bit messy 😟
I have memory issues on a day to day bases, I could only remember snip-its of what happen yesterday.
I was diagnosed with essential tremor yesterday. The neurologist said my onset was moderate. My tremors are head and neck and I have some twitching going on in my hands from time to time. The doc didn't want to treat me with Botox cause she said I wouldn't benefit from that unless my tremors were more severe. She wanted to put me on beta blockers and SSRI meds. I asked her if my situation would escalate by time but she said it didn't had to. In my book that's a polite way of saying yes but there's also a chance it won't. I never really understood my diagnose cause this essential tremor condition seems like a hybrid between a chronic illness and something that could pass if stress is a main component in the onset. On the other hand I'm reading not so encouraging stuff about ET increasing the chance of getting Parkinson by 50% and that it will only get worse by age. It's hard to accept that so I really want to believe the neurologist although I suspect she was trying to break it to me softly. I feel like getting a second opinion now to clear stuff up. Perhaps I'm in denial here but that first assessment went so fast. Took the neurologist less than 10 minutes to diagnose me. It made me a bit surprised.
How are you now? Did anything help?
@@denizadagoren2419 The second neurologist did not diagnose me with ET. He said it was anxiety induced. He did numerous tests and spend more time with me than the first neurologist did. I asked him repeatedly if ET is a defined medical condition and not a generic term for all thing tremor. He said that ET is a defined medical condition and that I didn't have any signs of that. He went on to say that tremors can come from a series of things and he suspected my anxiety was the "driving force" behind my tremors. No medication was prescribed. Also see my update in the above thread.
@@Underhills Sp you basically had anxiety?
@@Underhills So which diagnozation did u think is more reliable?
@@froydanger3849 Well, that second neurologist has assessed me twice now and he still says I don't have ET. He received more information about my general condition than that first neurologist that spend a short time "investigating" my tremor. I tried out beta blockers prescribed from the first neurologist that's supposed to work on ET but it had no effect on my tremors. I informed the second neurologist about my lifelong battle with anxiety and I also told him I've been taking Xanax on and off for 23 years. My personal theory is that I'm experiencing Xanax withdrawal AND tensing up due to anxiety. I've read trough the Ashton medical reports and scientific material that benzo withdrawal and side effects from benzo meds can be pretty severe tremors. However, that's my personal take on this. The last neurologist said he didn't know what causes my tremors, he just told me it wasn't ET or Parkinson's. So that's one doc saying A and the other one saying B - and on top of that I have my own theories. So who knows. I still have head and neck tremors and its been going on for a year now. My condition haven't changed except it's getting easier to avoid taking Xanax now. I've been almost two months clean. The inner tremors I've been experiencing for months has decreased and I feel it's decreased because I'm quit taking Xanax. I've also had seizure like tremors when I go to bed at night but that has gone away now. I had it for months.
I developed tremors a few years back in my early 20's. Both hands, jaw and sometimes eyes. We believe the cause was a medication I tried. Nothing has helped them go away, but as they get a lot worse with anxiety, treating that has reduced the severity overall. I still miss being able to draw or write with ease and doing fine detail work is impossible now.
I am 20 and i am having problem's with it
@Sir Isaac Newton we think it was a combination of Cipralex and Wellbutrin. I am finally being tested properly though now.
@Sir Isaac Newton I just finished my bloodwork and am due for an mri soon.
I can see my hands shake, it's not a drastic one all the time but they vibrate and twitch most of the time. The neurologist I'm seeing saying it appears more like dystonia and less like ET based on the frequency and such. I'll still need to see though. So far muscle relaxers are the only thing that reduces them.
@@IcebulletZ Did the tremors come suddenly ? What were the first symptoms you noticed ?
@@rkprince3799 I think they were there for a long time, just not noticeable. The first symptom I really was drawn to was I was dropping things and people commented.
I'm only 36 and I already have this. My hands trembling has worsened so much over the last few years I often spill things, drop things, have trouble writing/drawing neatly, my voice often kind of tremors too and my voice will cut out which from what I read sounds like it may be related to ET too. I often just kind of fall over when walking or standing. I really fear how bad it might get in the future.
I’m 12 and Isabel low iron so this happens a lot where I’m standing up and black fades in except this time was different i was closing a door and I felt it but it felt worse like stronger and my body felt heavy and tingling and I started shaking a lot I felt like I wasn’t there but it went away after like 8 seconds
I also have the voice symptom. I read could be related to ET
I’m way late to the post, so you might’ve decided on treatment by now. If not, I highly recommend. I was diagnosed as a baby, and I am in my mid-30s now. They had no treatments for it until I was 18, and that was a barbiturate which I was told I would become physically dependent on so I opted out. Needless to say, I am experiencing a lot of the later in life symptoms she mentions in the videos just slightly milder and 39 years younger
Mainly my left hand, but I also feel like my chest has them, I feel like I'm sitting still but vibrating.
I get the balance issue, if I have to concentrate on walking one slippery surface, my balance goes completely
I don’t recall a time when I didn’t have tremors of my hands. Later around 50 it included my head. Now at 67 it also involves my shoulders,trunk and left foot. I can’t do the things I love anymore but I try to focus on what I can do. I still have my eyes and my voice and some days the tremors subside so I make the best use of those days.😊
Thank you for this informational video
I have had essential tremors all my life learned to adapt. 72 now over past year started getting worse
I feel shaky while presenting something to someone and i feel my neck shaky while photo shoot and i can not make direct contact with a person as i have got myopia as well
Thank you for this. I have this but have not told many people in my family. My Aunt and my brother are the only one who knows. My question however, because I have other Heath problems, is there a connection between Narcolepsy, Visual Snow, and essential tremors? Thoughts would be appreciated..
thats a really interesting question, did you find any answers?
I have every single of these symptoms,like i kind of feel it everywhere pretty much,but more in my hands ,lips,tongue and generally..The balance is also true,while it doesnt affect me so much right now that im close to 30sh, it will in the future i believe so,i was about to do a brain ΜRI but i dont know if it will show something...The memory might be true,cause i was like incredible intelligent and now i kind of forget things and stuff more easier.I dont know.I went to neurologist, she said its essential tremor and said that it will not affect me now so much but in the future it will be worse.Also said that its very common among people,i dont know about that.But it affects me in a lot of ways,i also play guitar and its like very triggering sometimes.Also when im very nervous about something,its the worst,literally its very triggering (i believe this is the word).Also when i have to go outside and its cold,its also worse.Like when u have tremors from the cold by itself only,added up with this thing its again triggering..She also told me that there is medication that you can get about that,but i dont know if i wanna start medication right now,since its not so advanced..Still i wish i didnt have this,really.Sometimes i feel so old(my body) and im not even 30 yet.I dont know how the stages are advancing, like,how many years have to pass to evolve to something worse,but again,i wish i didnt have this..I also remember symptoms from like when i was 19 years old(im 29 right now).But i didnt check back then cause i thought that its something that will pass,or maybe it was from some kind of depression or something.But sure it frightens me right now..
@raven Did your tremors come suddenly ? What were the first symptoms you noticed ?
Has anybody experienced head tremor while taking medication for hyperthyroidism? could that be related and to what extend?
Idk be when I lay dow on my chin my chin starts to shake so bad that my teeth are literally moving like if I was purposely doing it and I can’t stop it unless I get off my chin but I don’t think this is what it is does this happened to anyone else🤷
To me they happen all over my body except the head very very mild rarely occurring tremors. I am pretty much forgetful lately. I do take long walks at times, I have 3 cats I play and laugh at. I have 5 dogs I love too much. So I don't think I fall on the depression side
My grandmother has it and she passed it to my father and my father passed it to me
It sucks bro
My dad and I have it. His dad had it. But somehow, my own brother doesn't have it. Whoops, guess I'm just unlucky
I’ve recently been diagnosed with ET. I’ve been taking a beta blocker and it helps a little but I still shake even with an increased dose. But at times I feel like everything is shaking and shaking my head with it makes it feel better. I don’t know if that’s part of this. My doctor has been investigating Wilson’s because my copper is high but no one in my family has it. Has anyone else had a symptom like this? Or have any advice?
I have head , voice and hand tremors. I wish I could give you advice but I literally battle myself every day to stop myself from shaking. It’s tiring and im tired of living with this.🤦🏽♂️
Ok so I have low iron so when I do stuff black fades in and i was closing a door and then I started feeling it except it was getting worse my body was heavy and tingling my whole wash was shaking and I felt like I wasn’t there and it went away after about 6 seconds I’m 12 but I just drank coffee
Omg I thought I was the only person to do this
Edit 1: It happened again, but longer this time
Edit 2: it’s getting worse, I’m getting more dizzy and weak
This happens to me when I'm half asleep and it wakes me up... I'm a heavy drinker and when I don't drink it happens to me . I think it might be a part of my alcohol withdrawal cause everyone gets different effects. I get it all in my body. My hands my legs my neck and my whole body. It don't let me sleep all night untill my body just gives up into the sleepiness
What does it mean if I only get it at night depending on what I eat? Like tonight I fell asleep on a full stomach I guess a little too early and woke up 2 hours after shaking uncontrollably and I always get better after burping or pooping, what is this?
I seem to have this as well. Mine seems to be related to sugary foods and drinks. If I don't have any sugary food or drinks for a couple days, I'm usually fine. However, if I do have sugar, I wake up trembling all over but then it goes away after I'm awake for a little bit and get out of bed. What the hell is this?
Actually sir this is my problem with body trimmers for quite some time I noticed that when I lift something or try to lift something or go to many places, I have to hold a glass, drink water, etc. If he is doing survival, his hands are trembling in front of him, the body is in an earthquake condition, there is no strength in the body, there is no life at all, because of this, my hands are shaking, they are not in balance, they are not under my control. When I want to do something, my brain gives me a message that you can't do it. At this time, my hands get confused. I get nervous. At this time I am teaching at some place but I have taken many tablets but please give me some guide or solution how can I stop it completely what can I do for it because I have gone into quite a depression and anxiety because of this, I think before my hands shake when I pick up anything or when I'm alone, it doesn't happen when I'm in front of someone, I'm going to present something or something. When I go to do something, when the work is done, I am already confused and worried. This is my time since I am giving the exam, so my hands are full at this time, which means it is not a resting trimmer.
I have tremors in my face, neck, legs, toes, arms, hands, pretty much everywhere besides my eyelids and tongue. They aren't _that_ strong but they're still always there and strongest in my arms and hands and are all non-essential. They just get worse with more shaking and twitches from things like stress, exhaustion from overexercising and dehydration. They never hurt and I can't control them.
I've had them for as long as I can remember, and my mom has them all over too. I thought everyone had them, and I was amazed at so many people who can hold a camera straight lol. I only found out that no, not everyone has tremors, in my teens when I had to go to a neurologist for seizure episodes. She went like "Oh yeah by the way most people don't that and not everyone gets constant headaches."
I still haven't done anything about them since they've rarely caused major problems. The worst it's gotten is holding a full glass, writing slowly or moving a mouse to hover over something specific for the most part. And whenever I go fast and fluid or hold most things it's like the tremors aren't there.

I have a vibe rating in my head is that a tremor?
I was diagnosed with essential tremor at 38 and am now 70. My head shakes, i feel it coming from the back of my neck. Any hormonal change will make it worse. When i wake up my head shakes, when i'm tired or not feeling well, it gets wores. I take 100 mg of metropol for it
I start head shake left right after l had vertigo june 2019. I rolled on my bed and now my head nod.l seeing chropractic but it still the same.had vertigo again begining nov.did bppv manuever.nod feels like in my neck and shake my head.almost like repeat heat beat after my heart.any advise to stop would be great.👌
first thing -- goto a real doctor, not pseudo science / quack Chiropractor.
@@skrewler l saw a qualified australian chracp who charged 50$ 4 less 30mins.and seen more than 10 drs so called doctors. It was expensive. But no cigars.now l massage sensative right neck which has reduce the wobble spasm. 90'/, l dont 100'/, recovery maybe 95?? And imbalance may be here to stay..😕
When I first got it at 9 years of age. I could and still do. Tastes like iron. If I don't take my Propranolol. The stronger the taste.
What about migraines? Can they be related to essential tremor? I have essential tremor and notice I get a lot more severe headaches than I use to. I also saw a comment by someone on another video that they get a weird poking sensation on the right side of there head, which I have also had. They seemed to think it was a side effect of propranolol, which I am also on, however I don't recall seeing that was a possible side effect.
I'm on the same medication. Makes the right side of my head hurt and my feet very cold. My head does the no no shake and i also have full body twitches now. Also tremor is sometimes in my voice now too.
Have you tried botox its help migranes also
i noticed that i also have more severe headaches with the tremors, especially after days where i had a lot of tremors
I get full body tremors in episodes and they make me feel confused and disoriented. They also make me feel sick. I draw and have noticed with my age that I can’t draw straight lines anymore. I feel shaky all day long, even my neck and head. I take metoprolol, and it helps but every now and again I will get an episode.
I (71F) also have full body tremors but not all the time. Sometimes no tremors for days and then moderate to strong tremors. Gabapentin helps some, but the tremors continue to effect my whole life because have fallen during the stronger tremors and the fear of falling keeps me from doing much. The tremors seem the worst when I get tired. Last time I saw my doctor and discussed tremors, when I got home, I had a bad tremor and ended up on the floor.
Most articles about tremors only address tremors of the hands and upper body. Sometimes I wonder if it's more than essential tremor. Haven't seen neurologist yet but am strongly considering it.
It's a tough, crazy, embarrassing, and scary condition to deal with. I hope you will get some support from your doctors, family,and friends. My best friend is very concerned about my tremors and is willing to listen to me talk about how they effect me, body, mind, and soul. It helps.
Can I ask anyone If they experience tingling and pulsing sensations in their muscles and nerves? Ive been diagnosed with essential tremor recently it was sudden after a reaction to an anti nausea medication
Exactly, Its feel like bubble popping sensation or vibration in muscles
!!
My head shakes when I play video games. I can’t control it.
yeah same bro, when i play dota, nothing happen, but when i play csgo and when im aiming to enemy, my head shakes so badddd, my aim is very bad, my legs and hands are sweaty
This only happens to me when im out in public
Menthol poisoning? Be careful or discontinue muscle creams. My dad had uncontrollable shaking of both arms and loss of balance out of nowhere. Thought he was having a stroke or heart attack! Went to the ER and all tests came back negative. I questioned my dad's Biofreeze use and he was using it all over his back for a couple of weeks. He stopped using it and has not had a problem since.
Essential tremor has nothing to do with anxiety! I'm so sick of hearing this. My mom had it and she was not anxious. I have it and am not anxious. I wake up with it. How am I anxious while I'm sleeping?
Who said you have to be anxious? The fact that you're not experiencing an issue whilst dealing with a diagnosis does not mean that it's not an issue for others with that diagnosis. Research on ET has show, just as this doctor states, a higher rate of anxiety in people with ET than people without it.
@@AnoNym-zp2mp I've been battling anxiety and panic attacks for 25 years. Guess you can say I'm a sensitive and stressed person with a worried personality. I've been trough lot's of stress this last year with my dad dying, lot's of work etc. I just was diagnosed with essential tremor. My mother has the same thing, she also has a nervous personality. I kinda compare ET with Tinnitus that I also have. You can get that with perfectly fine hearing but stress can really escalate it. Don't know if there's anything called stress induced tremors but stress does affect it. I'm hoping less stress would eventually stop or reduce the head tremors.
@@Underhills Did you try botox or a beta blocker?
@@denizadagoren2419 Hi. There's been an update to my condition this month as I had another neurologist asses my condition. He ended up with NOT giving me a ET diagnose and said my tremors were anxiety based. I asked him heaps of questions that I had prepared and he said ET is a clinical diagnose and not a generic term they use for tremors. It's so easy to get wrong diagnoses. Neurology is a very complex thing obviously and neurologists don't see things the same way.
@@Underhills Thanks for the update much appreciated but you didn't answer my question... Did you try botox injection? Or a beta blocker pill?
Can you have both essential tremor and Parkinson’s? I always thought I had e.s. But recently my g.p. Diagnosed me with Parkinson’s.
i might be wrong but im pretty sure essential tremor is a symptom of parkinsons, so yes you can have both
@@raven3511 yes, you are wrong.
I have head tremors. My neck has started to hurt because I tend to keep it stiff to try and help decrease the tremors. I was told by a neurologist my symptoms were not bad enough to warrant botox, and I didn’t want it either. The neck pain is increasing and is causing decreased range of motion or pain with normal range of motion. Is there any help for this?
How are you now? Have you tried anything?
same for me, but its weird cuz when im moving it stops
hi, did you have problem with your thyroid before and taking any medication? how are you doing now?
Anyone know of any essential tremor support groups? I've had it for 5 years now and it's driving me nuts.
I so agree i join if there was 1
Theres just not enough info from my dr. No referrals i feel like im winging it trying to figure out what lies ahead.
@@travelingdonkeys381 I feel you
let me know if any are found 🙏 im sure there has to be some sort of online group for it
I get random inner vibrations, inside my chest/neck area, but, there is no visible shaking!
same thing. especially when i want to sleep, my whole bed shakes.

It just takes time and patience, Stay with your Loved ones and hug them as often as you can. i found that oxytocin release also helped me calm down the anxiety.

Is this linked to tourettes because I have TS
Can this get worse? Like, progressing?
Occasionally

My legs just stop working and I either hit my back on a wall fall to my knees or fall strait down its kind of like extreme hiccups it started a year ago near the end of summer 2017...help... Me..
@@munchtuna8926 Do you use any muscle creams with menthol?
Im unable to sit still due to constant internal shaking
I always thought it meant I was nervous? I'm not sure what it is.
did you ever find what it was
I have been diagnosed with ET. My hand shakes only lift something. While yawning my upper body.hmmm shoulders shake. I face difficulty in claimbing.
Has anyone here with my kind of symptoms.
I have had ET since I was 10. I'm currently 26. My father passed it down to me. When my dad and I yawn we shake really bad. I shake all the time and shake worse when I'm anxious, mad, or excited.
Yup 🥺
Since I've being treated with beta blockers for essential tremor my fatigue is also gone thankfully. I's fatigue also a symptom??
I believe so. I think it's more the stress and tenseness ET causes that results in fatigue and not the tremor itself. I have a tremor in my facial muscles which makes me very stressed in social situations thereby resulting in much fatigue.
@@judevanderdussen4258 Thanks
Are there nutritional supplements to treat essential tremor?
Do you have essential tremor ?

@@kareemahmed7028 How do you know this ? You probably have something else .. Whats your age ?
@@rkprince3799 I visited a neurologist and he did an EEG for me, and the results of the EEG showed that I suffer from essential tremor. I am 35 years old.
@@kareemahmed7028 Oh. Okay, But sometimes EPT is misdiagnosed with ET. I also have witnessed this. What were your first symptoms ? Did the onset is sudden ?
