Talk about serendipity, you don't know me, but I'm your dad's cousin, Linda. I have ET, and I really don't know how I came across your video. I was doing some research on Steadiwear to see if it is even an option for me, when I recognized your face. It took me a minute to place it, but couldn't help but see your mom in you. Anyhow, I am very impressed with your video and will be trying out your suggestions. Keep going girl! We need more people like you helping us "shakers"!
Worked in surgery for 19 years. I'm now a volunteer on a street medicine team that delivers quality primary health care to those in homelessness. In my scrub and 1st assistant duties I never had to do things like blood draws. Now with my volunteer work I wanted to be able to draw blood on our homeless patients so I went to take a 12 week course in phlebotomy. I passed but it was so embarrassing with my essential tremors which began about 1 1/2 ago. My tremors are worse in the morning and in my right hand. So I just tried to use my left hand to draw blood (I write with my right hand but do everything else with my left hand) and since my left hand tremors are very minimal it worked. But hated anyone seeing my right hand shake when writing. Any advice for me? I am going to use your techniques. My hands have been so important to me in my work.
Im suffering the same, it affects my work life and personal life. It causes me so much stress and sadness. Ive booked an appointment with a neurologist and have started guided meditation using this app called “headspace”
@@salahuddinhaque3589 Any observation on masturbation/ sex frequency related to hand tremor and mental clarity... Less sex/ masturbation= relaxed and strong nerves
The “doctors” here think it’s all my anxiety, they took away the only medication that helped and now I’m a shaky mess and I avoid most things because I shake like a damn leaf and have no energy to interact with people. It’s all normal apparently. I figured out the finger flick thing by myself, it’s a temporary small improvement.
I tried cooling my forearm of the hand with the most essential tremor. I cried when I took off the cold pack and the tremor was almost completely gone! Thank you so much for helping us with these tips!
OMG!I am also a dentist with mild ET,finding out the way to stop my hand shaking especially at the time of Mandibular block LA injection. Do you take any medication 😢
Assist device info = THANK YOU !! Almost quit watching as your constant hand/arm movements made me almost like, being sea sick!! Finally had to NOT watch you so to be able to continue on thru your vid. Glad I did, am ordering the mouse control program. Hope it works!
I've never heard of using a wrist brace but it makes sense when i hold my wrist it goes away. Can you recommend any braces to try. This looks very promising.
She is the flight attendant of hand tremors. Joking aside she has great new tips. Thank you for caring and sharing your knowledge it is so much needed.
I have ET and working my hands out in any way increase the tremor sometimes to the point of not being able to function at all. Thry start flopping uncontrollably
I love hearing and learning from you. I don't watch your videos though because your arms and hands move around all of the time and I cannot concentrate
I have a tremor in my right hand (my dominant hand) which makes it hard (impossible) to write. I've been teaching myself to write left-handed for the last 12 months. I'm making progress. I'm still wondering what type of tremor it is, do you have info on self-diagnosis? Maybe a video? Thanks for your video!
@@drmanoj459 When someone shares their personal experiences with illness and symptoms that obviously involve major challenges, suffering, reduced functionality and quality of life, most will react with understanding and consideration for their fellow human beings. Your comment, on the other hand, appears inappropriate, disrespectful and insensitive.
The visual input most interesting . I work in electrical and more electronics in my days off.. I have a small tremor but if I try and solder small components the tremor gets violent. The last time I did something I rested my hand on a rubber block.
Your sound volume is too low for me to be able to hear much of what you say. Or maybe you could blame my crappy little computer speakers. But I think I understand most of what you say. My neurologist wanted me to start taking propanerol (or whatever it's called) before trying anything else such as MRI guided ultrasound treatments. But I don't want to be placed indefinitely on possibly addictive pills.
Are you practicing sign language?? If not your dramatic hand/arm movements are very distracting. Your voice modulation is great so I would get a lot more out of your information if you just stood calmly & talked. Thanks.
Listen and look away. Although she may not be doing sign language she is speaking very clearly and body movement and facial expression assist Deaf people to somewhat understand. Not everything can be for you.
Thank you so much. I have essential tremor that’s progressing and I am needing more work arounds. Curious about the wrist splint and the idea of cooling the arm before using the arm. I’m curious what you do there? Like wrap all the way around forearm with large ice pack or smaller ice pack to certain area of forearm. The bracing of one hand to use the better hand helps for me some but i try to paint my nails and it’s pretty messy. I literally have to hold the brush in my left and prop it and then steer other hand’s nails under the brush and drag them under. Still very messy but I eek out painted nails and let the excess polish (that always ends up all over my skin) soak off in the bath to loosen it from skin and then scrub gently with washcloth on the skin painted by accident. It’s super frustrating but I usually eek it out. Looking forward to following you.

As a dentist with severe panic attacks I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting this video out
How do you cope?

i think she is either using some form of sign language, or she is a rapper
kinda get dizzy with all your hand movement
I don't find this helpful. This is my honest feedback
What advice would you give to someone with neck tremors. I have had this for several months now
I have ET and working my hands out in any way increase the tremor sometimes to the point of not being able to function at all. Thry start flopping uncontrollably
Is there a reason why you are so extra with your hands? Its distracting
Thank you so much for providing resource information in the description box!
thanks so much for breaking everything down. I am greatful.

My issue is navigating my mouse with my right hand my whole arm will tremor
this was helpful, thank you
Dance was amazing
Very helpful and inspiring.
Could've been an excellent vlog,if you made it without 🕺

too much hand/arm movement for me as well. i appreciate all the time and work you put into this. Sad there is to much movement for me to watch.
Great Video 😊
Thanks! 😊
Great info
How heavy can I go with wrist weights if very underweight im five and a half stone due to nerves and have osteopenia. I lift 2.5 kg no trouble.

And a yellow cat on the right too! 🙂
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
