- In this episode of I CARE FOR YOUR BRAIN with Dr. Sullivan, board-certified neuropsychologist Karen D. Sullivan discusses Essential Tremor and the latest science-based research on how it progresses. For more science-based brain health education and empowerment, follow I CARE FOR YOUR BRAIN with Dr. Sullivan on Facebook or visit www.ICFYB.com
The doctors can treat the symptoms of essential tremor but like most conditions the progression of the disease cannot be halted. We can take medications that reduce the tremor however it does not treat other problems that crop up with this condition. Then even more medications are added to treat those. Often neurologists have no idea how much this condition affects our lives on a daily basis. I’m so glad your channel is bringing the issue forward.
I developed essential tremors in my teens. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 24. I'm now 50, and my tremors have progressed so much that my neurologist has told me I need to consider surgery because adding more medicine would do more harm. I've been on many different medicines over the years, but most of the time the side effects were worse than the tremors. I'm currently taking Propranolol 40mg 2 x a day, Amantdine 50mg 2 x a day, and Alaprazm 50mg 2 x a day. The worst part of having tremors is other people's reactions, especially when I was young because some people would make assumptions as to why my hands were shaking.
Since GABA plays a crucial role in ET, I will like you to educate us on the use of GABA enhancing supplements to treat ET.
Gaslighting patients, pays more.
This is sad to hear as my 18 year old daughter who was finally diagnosed after many years of doctors and therapists. She just started college and studies art. I am not sure what her future holds knowing it will most likely get worse. My heart hurts for her. I wish I could take it from her!
I am 64. I started having tremors (hands) at 18. I didn’t study art but literature nevertheless I have always drawn and have been doing pottery full time for more than 20 years. I have a hard time holding a spoon mostly when I’m nervous or tired …
she may create beautiful art spider trimmers I used to decorate wedding cakes oh this voice recognition is really funny I meant to say despite her tremors
Has her Dr. told here about the Cala kiq??
what is that?
I just had DBS SURGERY and it really helped me. I have regained many functions I didn't have.
wold love to learn more on the balance and gait issue
Talking about it and understanding it better does lessen the
Stress which helps
A great video that explains the key issues very clearly. Thankyou so much !
Thank you so much for your continued support of the Essential Tremor community!
Very helpful lecture, but it would be much better if you turned your phone sideways to give us a horizontal (full screen) image. Keep up the good work!
Alcohol definitely makes my tremor go away in the short term but the next morning it’s worse. Mucona also completely gets rid of my tremor but it gives me painful like cramps in my gut. Sometimes I still take it though. I noticed it in my teens and it’s gotten a lot worse in the past few years. I’m 45. It’s in my hands. Very annoying at times.
The 7 percent estimate is interesting! My ET has progressed to other parts of my body, and probably has increased in magnitude. However I would say my ET-related symptoms have increased more than anything (reaction to stress, extreme temperatures, gait and balance, psychological issues). And frankly, those are the most troubling effects of ET for me.
Have you ever had an eye tremor.
@@DONABUG2001 Yes i have
Would love to learn more on progression and how this relates to other injuries. you have helped me with your videos tremendously and your office gave me a list I am working on combing through to find someone with your level of expertise near Chicago. I have a large issue with "friend or foe" identification, short term memory, word finding, sense of smell, sense of taste, and hearing among other things. my ET started around 19 (29 now) and has moved to tremors in my head, neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs. I believe the reason i was unable to heal well from shoulder surgery and back and neck trauma is due to the constant tremors pulling my joints and other parts away from a " natural rest" . would love to hear if any studies have been done in relation to any of the above, and truly thank you so much for helping me start to understand what has been happening to me the past few years.
Can you explain a little more about the Friend or Foe identification
I will just repeat to watch your seminar until to make it clear for those things I need to know thanks and God bless till next
My father was an alcoholic; My mother’s aunt had tremors, both parents smoked, I was born premature. I have had hypothyroid since late 80’s. I traveled and worked outside of US working with chemicals and insecticides, I had a mild spinal injury in 2005, and noticed my tremors in 1999 at the age of 35 when working in extreme cold weather for long periods of time. I have spinal bone spurs in my neck and mid back. I was diagnosed with ET in 2011. My head tremors are worse with stress. I drink little caffeine due to high acid content. I drink alcohol moderately but did drink a lot in my 20/ 30’s. My neck and shoulder muscles are constantly sore. I would like to find a doctor knowledgeable in gut health/ detox that knows about tremors.
Lorie, if you are on Facebook join Martin Clinic. Excellent information on gut health.
Lorie, it is Martin Clinic Club on Facebook. You can join.
Hi Dr. Sullivan,
Thanks for your lecture it was very interesting and I will be subscribing.
I have lived with ET in my right hand for a few years now and so now have learned to write with my left. In the last few weeks my right hand has started to mimic the movement of my left. I now have to grasp the table leg so I can write. My neurologist said that is very unusual.
Do you have any information on focused ultra sound?
Gary
Great video and very helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, we really need information about this topic :) and I am glad that I found this video because it brought me new things. Also it is different from the articles that I found via internet research.
I can't tell the percentage of progressing in my ET but it definitely progressed. I say this because I have had the tremors since as far as I can rememer (I am 24 y.o), if not since I was born, I can't tell. But I didn't care about them at all because they were super mild. But about two years ago I focused on them a little more. I felt maybe my hands are shivering a little more but wasn't sure. I tried to get to doctors but they didn't take me serioulsy especially when they know that I have been shiverng for a long time and it has never bothered me -_-
Last year finally I could get a good medical progression step by step until I was sent to a neurologist, and he told me that I have essential tremor. But he didn't give me a lot of information. He said it causes only tremors, it is usually progressive but luckily in my case the progression is slow. He gave me a medicine and told me to use it only if I really need (I used it only once) and then told me to come back only if there is a big change in my tremors or if somthing new happens like tingling or anything.
That's why I was looking a lot on internet for more information to know more about ET.
How do you prevent not to progress and live with these tremors
@@happylife3541 The tremors are progressive in the total majority of the cases if not all. But the progress can be slow which is good!
To prevent accelerating the progress or making the tremors worse it's up to living style (In severe cases a doctor gives medicine in addition to help). In general good life style with eating well and healthy, doing sport, and all, is great, but I would mention the following points as very important:
Avoid stress!! Stress is so bad for Essential Tremor.
Same avoid other triggers, for example in my case the internal tremors become bad only when something emotional happens, like anger, or even high happiness. So if this happens (not every time they get triggered in my case), stop , breath slowly and relax, and never come back to the topic or the situation unless the tremors calm down (And this if you know it won't affect you again or such).
Avoid consuming caffeine
Sleep enough and well
78 yr old female. Diagnosed with PD & ET. Started 15 yrs ago with slight tremors, progressed slowly til 2 yrs ago. Has escalated greatly along with extreme discomfort in arms. Right foot is very painful, tingling, feeling like it’s in a vise, extending into the ankle & tight leg muscles…mysterious & growing worse
I have just discovered your postings.Thank you for them
Being new to this I would like to know what essential tremor IS.
Thank-you, Dr. Sullivan. You have enlightened me as to what my girlfriend is going through. There. Given than she's also got depression, I don't think there's a lot her doctor can do for mitigation.
I am 64 years old. I noticed the onset of Essential tremor in my late thirties. It is progressively worse now. Although studies determined alcohol use is a factor in the depletion of these cells in the Cerebellum, it can by no means be a cause. I am not a drinker. I had a few drinks at age 18 and 19 , yet at age 20 did not drink at all. For more than 30 years, I chose not to drink wine, beer or any type of adult beverage with alcohol. The only exception was on a vacation cruise where rum punch was being served on a small excursion vessel. Through out my life, I drank only on rare occasions. So, how can alcohol be a factor at all?
Same here with drinking . I was also told I was born with ET, so that makes no sense.
It is pretty difficult to use a smart phone or a keyboard...necessities in modern life.
Yes, I am finding an increasing issue with that also. Frustrating
Really interesting / i’ve Progressed over about 5 years - I think a little less than 5% but I have a cavernoma and its a little more complicated as it is near The cerebellum. I find meditation helps and co ordination body movement exercises
I am almost 80 years old & throughout my life have worn many hats. One of them was in a job with a very stressful time period.
In that time I coped by drinking lots of coffee.
I got it from our office machine & drank it in paper cups.
I had to hold the cup with both hands because they
shook so much.
I was in my late 40s & early 50s. Over the years the tremors were not noticeable - it was in a happy time of my life.
Now,almost 80 I am experiencing them again noticeable. Shaking in my right hand when writing, carrying something, & otherwise when trying to do something.
I also have been diagnosed with MMD. Take antidepressants & Gabapentin.
I would like to have a definition of Essential Tremor.
Thanks for the info but please limit the ads there's too many! so I can actually watch the whole vid. I appreciate the info I got though.
Glad I found your channel. Very interesting hearing everybody’s comments. I have cervical dystonia with tremors as a side effect or as a side. It’s the tremors that are the worst for me. I would like to find a doctor in the Jersey area that could help me my doctor here has me on the ram. It helps a little but not much and it’s very addictive drug. Is there another drug that would be better? Can you do a seminar on the medication’s. Thank you so much.
Love you to talk about head tremors. Thanks. Also does Botox help with head tremors?
It would be nice to know if there is a link between ET and menopause. Many people in the ET group I am in have said their tremors increased during menopause, as mine seem to have.
That's was really helpful for me to be more focus in daily routine , how
I had deep brain stimulation in October 2019 and have had one battery change since then. When I am relaxed I am quite fine and have minimal tremor. Sometimes when I get nervous it can get worse. I read about a man who, years after having DBS, had something implanted in his spine that controlled the rest of his tremors. I feel this, spinal cord injury, will be the next step in controlling et. I had scoliosis as a child and then was in three car accidents with whiplash which I believe is involved in et.
I have just found you, I have severe rest tremor, I was wondering about this Gaba issue, I have been hyper and insomniac for years, do you think there are links to major sleep disorders such as night terrors and sleep paralysis???
This is my way of blowing off stress and at the same time thanking you for the info. In about 3 hours I will undergo a Datscan study to see if my ET is possibly Parkinson’s. I’ve learned so much from your lectures and you always point me off in another direction for more info but sometimes I just need to “tell” someone. I am in the middle of the process of screening for DBS.. I’ve had ET for as long as I can remember (late teens), my brother had it, my niece has it and my two daughters have it. Strange thing is ALL of us have it ONLY on the right side! My neurologist said that is very unusual. This past year has brought some other health challenges and since then I have noticed my ET progressing much more quickly.......as well as my frustration level. I’m waiting for them to schedule my neuropsych eval (wish it was with you!) and then I will have completed all the evaluation. At that point, I no longer will have any control of whether I’m approved or not. Unfortunately, I have been totally unable to tolerate any of the medications so DBS is my only hope. Keep up the flow of good info! Would love more!
Hello, i'm 34 and feel my head shaking a little bit when i turn it to the side, at what age do you think it'll become severe? primidone helps a little, but i'm afraid to develop tolerance and doesn't work anymore
Update. DBS surgery is Oct 20th. Covid slowed things to a crawl in late spring but happy to know I’ve come out the other side and look forward to moving on!
Surgery went fantastic. When the leads were tested during the surgery the tremor completely stopped! I have now undergone the placement of the battery/neuro transmitter and the lead wires have been run down the side of my head under my skin. Everything is healing and Tuesday I get the first set if staples removed. Programming is scheduled for the 16th of November!
@@inthekitchenwithbubby7724 How are you now?
@@RyanPridgeon I’m doing well! The DBS was done on the left side of my brain (for the tremor on the right side of my body) and has worked miracles! For the most part the tremor is gone. Sadly though as soon as the right side was done, the left side started up and has been getting progressively worse. The DBS for that side is scheduled for 4/22! Thanks for asking!
I am just beginning my journey in being diagnosed. My new Dr., a Kaiser Neurologist. My hand tremors started in June, 2021, and just started discerning a head tremor in July. This new Dr. Has ordered a Brain MRI and a DaTScan…he wants to determine if I have had any small strokes…or whether I may have any Parkensonial issues. I love your series, and listen whenever I can. Thank you.
How are you nowadays ? Did you get your scans done ?
I have cervical dystonia snd Tremors. My tremors were diagnosed after dystonia. Initially the tremors were only in my hands, but recently i get them in my head/ neck.
It appears that focused ultra sound is the new best treatment. Is it permanent and how many treatments do you need or does it vary. Please tell us all you know about it.
All in all it was really nice
Dr.-I was born with this tremor with my mother noticing when I was a toddler. Inherited from my father's side of the family. My tremor has gotten progressively worse but has really picked up in intensity in the past 7 years( I am now 57) with my head and voice now tremoring along with my hands. My right vocal cord stopped working about two years ago. Is there a possible connection with my ET? The only thing that stops the tremor is alcohol. With millions of people that need a drug, why hasn't big pharma narrowed down the active ingredient in alcohol that stops the tremor and sell it in pill form. It will be big money! Thank you so much for your videos! Very helpful!
I have to wonder how hormones play into ET and for women if it gets worse by a lot after menopause.
You are right ET in my case has progressed faster after 65. I have had ET as long as I can remember, probably 6 yrs. old. I feel it really affected my muscle strength a lot around 60.
Thank you for your candour. 💝
I'm interested in the use of medical marijuana for essential tremors
CBD is immunosuppressive, and your immune system works daily to control neoplastic activity in the body; so before taking the agent, weigh the risk of trading ET for a cancer.
my ET is sensitive to lots of things. High temperature, hunger (even mild), thirst or overhydrating, having full bladder, moving or walking fast, some foods (gluten, dairy, aspartame..), swimming!!!! never know why! ... I also have Temporal lobe epilepsy, and my tremors suddenly progressed so much in a short time while I was put on anticonvulsant meds. lacosamide( antiepileptic. Vimpat) at first helped my ET. i haven't had problem with eating. but after a few months I couldn't eat and drink! but after i came off of anticonvulsant meds It has gotten better. now I can at least eat in private. I'm 37 female. head injury history in childhood
My son (age 36) has spastic cerebral palsy; high functioning but confined to a wheelchair. He also has periods of anxiety and panic attacks...has always been easily startled. Any connection?
I play music, bass guitar, as a way to lower the intensity of the tremor. It works remarkably well and is the only thing I've found that come close to alcohol. I've been toying with the idea of making a video to explain the techniques I employ and what I think might be going on, but honestly I'm now incredibly curious if anyone else has found benefit in playing music.
LividTomatoes please make such videos for all of us :)
i have essential tremor and have been playing bass guitar for the last 2 years.... i've never noticed but maybe it really helps
Music is the Power 🎼💯%
I find the tremors take away my guitar playing and I recently had to give up playing live bass because it was a struggle..
@@TheBassplayah that’s a bummer. I had to give up my life of being an artist bc I stopped being able to draw and paint. It was a sad feeling and still is. This tremor crap is miserable. It takes away so much.
Since I'm not really even sure when my tremor started. So therefore I can't even say if it's gotten worse, or it just started out at this current level of tremor. It's in my left hand and unfortunately I am left dominant. I susect some day I will need to learn to eat with my right hand. I wonder how much gut health, and diet could possibly have an effect on this condition.
Greetings!
Have you or could you talk about brain scar tissue post surgery for tumor removal?
Also "chemo brain"?
Thank you!
I am a 71 year old woman with epilepsy since 15. Been taking depakote & Dilantin since then. I’m very aware of the results of caffeine too, but I really want coffee. Do you know of a coffee substitute that I can take?
Check out our upcoming ET Webinar at www.icfyb.com/webinaret/
I think essential tremor is a gut health issue…I’m going to do gut healing work. If it helps I will post about it on my channel with confirmation of a diagnosis…I don’t know if it will work but I’m going to try
Doing the same thing. Sibo and leaky gut. Fixing gut dysbiosis and add good bugs
Why does CBD pretty much stop essential tremor without side affects. Why cant medicine figure out why that works to try and figure out what is causing ET in the first place?
What about the non invasive ET laser “surgery”. They are doing it in Oregon at OHSU. Apparently they can only do one Side of the brain but are trying to figure out how to do both sides. I am not sure what potential surgery side effects might be.
I appear to be a little bit late on getting on board. I would be more than willing to pay 5 bucks for everyone of your lectures. I have had ET since childhood now 59 progressing quite nicely 🤪 Inderal since 14 no longer working..onto Topiramate..no noticeable affect yet.
need to learn about head temors
Do you know if Effexor is on the list for making ET worse?
Is there any data that suggests a relationship between Covid infection and onset of ET?
I wonder if ET has anything to do with mineral imbalance?
My Tremor was in my jaw first, then my left thumb, then my index and middle finger. I took some prednisone and it ramped up my tremors to involve my voice and my head. It was devastating to me. I would advise against taking prednisone. I wish I had never gone to the doctor who prescribed it.
Interesting to know that steroids make it worse. I have asthma and use inhalers sometimes. I try to avoid the steroid one bc I just feel like taking it long term is a bad idea. If mommy asthma flares up only during colds and environmental impact like smoke, cold air or pollution.
Headaches are overwhelming at times and my memory is not good my body is always tense hard time resting
Good video I went to see my GP 27/2/2024 she told me I have ET I have not started and medication yet because I have COPD and one of the medications my GP was going to put me on I could not have because I have breathing problems can ET effect the thalamus and can it. Make you voice hoase my voice as been hoase since last November when I get up in the morning I can't speak right even when I am on my home phone talking to someone I live in the United Kingdom and being told by your GP you have ET it gets a little scary I found your video very informative and interesting and I want to get a better understanding of my condition is ET a disease I know there is no cure for it as it's all new to me you are doing a great job in getting the message across wherever you are in the world
I bought that melatonin you suggest.
I notice it is 0.5 mg.
How much should I take for very disturbed sleep?
My neurologist started me on Clonazepam .05mg over 25 yrs ago and has increased it to 1mg - 4 times/day. My tremor progress is only worse. There have been 12 neurologist during this time. Does this sound over the top to you. Propranolol 5mg/day. Cold temp effects also, making it worse. I also have an irregular heart beat. I a 86 yrs old - cannot write, no control either hand and at times my whole body, head and neck give the appearance of doing a dance. My sister 2 yrs younger also had ET. She passed away 11 yrs ago.
Any suggestions?
I watch you on RUclips, so I am unable to see the links you refer to in your lecture. I am interested in your lecture series. Also, I want to thank you for helping me better understand what is happening in my brain and how it affects my daily living.
How can start again to have changes to move forward
I would like more info about comorbidities or non-motor manifestations of essential tremor.
We have a 4 hour webinar that focuses on that for one of the hours. icfyb.com/webinaret/
There is some that looks like a watch to control that sends signal to the brain. Would you know what is call.
What do you think of high intensity ultrasound?
I deal with ET in my hands mostly and sometimes in legs. My question is how can I control it in my hands so I can cook and do things for myself
I have found that 400mg , three times a day (10:00am, 4:00pm, 10:00pm) of Gabapentin helps me more than anything else. The protocol is to start you at 100mg but that doesn’t help. You will have to see which dose lessens your symptoms. It was a game changer for me. Fatigue and stress causes my tremors to be worse. Maybe cook an hour after taking the Gabapentin. By the way, I had no side effects from the Gabapentin. It is only available by prescription. Good luck!
I have it in my hands when i am stress my whole body start to shake
You should ask for more than $5! That is so generous
I am on primidone. Started using Nature Made Stress Relief..Costco/Amazon. L-Thiamine and gaba. Wow🙌. Have been able to reduce the med and the gummies are easy to grab later in the day when my tremors increase.
Have they reduced the tremors ?
I just stumbled on to this video and see your comment. I hope you don’t mind a few questions. Is it still working for you? How many do you take a day?
@@suekay5353 sooo I am now on 250mg primidone…the limit. It's not controlling tremors very well. Supplemental th8ngs help a wee bit. The Vilim ball works great for @1/2 hr. At some point I will likely undergo DBS surgery…🙄
Yes I believe short term alcohol makes it better but the next day is worse.
I had encephalitis as a young man. Any possible connection with et later in life??
Have et head tremors say yes to everything at times it got better for a time but has come back mildly from time yo tome therapy helped and ive done lots of chiropractic visits
U r awesome
Thank you so much. I for a long time thought I had MS. I would get symptoms that would last for months then disappear. The tremors never went away and are getting a little worse now. I'm 72 and the neurologist says I'm too old to have MS. Can these other symptoms, like tingling & burning in my legs, vertigo, balance, double vision be connected to ET?
For what it is worth your symptoms sound similar to my experience.40 year old male with ET since teenager. In late 30s I developed tingling and burning in legs, twice double vision for 30 minutes, migraines, tachycardia. No answers, brain imaging looked good. I supplement at night before bed with super b complex, GABA, Magnesium, occasionally melatonin. I need 9-10hrs of sleep, any less especially back to back nights causes "flare-ups" of above symptoms. If I fast and limit carb intake I can really eliminate my ET, but tingling and burning becomes more pronounced. my takeaway is we are all different in operation some run like a Toyota, others like a British automobile.
I am 71 and my doctor says neuropathy is the cause of my burning in my feet. My Essential Tremor is a neurological disease which involves nerves and they run all over the body including the feet and legs, so entirely possible, I think. I have a relative who has it too. She is older than me but she has double vision. Not sure if it’s related because two of my cousins have double vision and they don’t have ET. Could be age related instead, possibly.
@@DF-zp1os " eliminate my ET" as in put it in remission? Does low carb work for you with your ET condition?
It could be vit B12 deficiency, especially the tinling and the rest you have mentioned
How do i live with these tremors not progress it anymore??It is really embarrassing
How can you tell if my Et is caused by mercury in the diet (tuna)
Short term worsening of tremors 16:45
I have had ET for almost 70 years. 5 to 7% increase per year is not logical, with 350 to 490% worse by now. I didn't perceive an increase until my 60s, with slow progression since then. Guess I'm not the norm.
Would chemo cause ET or large dosages of prednisone? I’ve had both.
I’ve had chemo for cancer and prednisone shots to my back. I had chemo in 1996 and my tremors started in 2008. I had ET in my chin first in 2008 then it moved to my hands a few years ago. The prednisone started my voice and head tremors in 2020. They said after the prednisone left my body, maybe the voice would get back to normal. It didn’t, so yes, prednisone, in my opinion should not be given to ET patients.
Thank You l would like to know about balance with E.T l have fallen 7 times and have hurt my self broken hand, hurt
My body is this because off Et DeliA Valente l can not control it .l am 74 years old. The Dr had. Told me l had ET .
YWas
I am 71 years old and started noticing my hands shaking when I was 18. I was diagnosed with ET at 50 by a neurologist. My question is this. Since I write with my left hand, but do everything else with my right hand, deep brain stimulation or laser treatment would have to be done on both sides of my brain, correct?
Hi Pat, hope you are doing well. I am dealing with something similar. I to detected hand shaking when I was 18-19. I initially thought it was because of the cigerrates I used to smoke but then over the years it has not stopped but it also has not gotten worse. I am 26 now. But I have had OCD and other psychological troubles with anxiety and stress management and incidentally I am afraid of memory issues. Could you give me some tips on how you managed to handle the ET and if you had some psychological issues. How did you manage to handle them ?
I've had ET for 60+ years. Hasprogressed to worse on left side and voice but not much till 50's on.
Huh. . .voice tremors, huh? Brings to mind Katherine Hepburn.
DBS?
Is head essential tremors normal?
Yes, I have them.
Can I get “gaba” in food?
So many ads.🙄
I've had ET in my hands since I was a teenager. I feel like it was not progressing until this year at 33 years old. I'm starting to have a mild voice tremor and shaking in hands is so bad I cannot hold a fork or spoon steady or even use a computer mouse. This is tough because I start IVs in my profession. I've tried propanolol with little help. Started Lexapro and Wellbutrin two months ago and my tremors are exponentially worse. I'm at a loss of what to do next. My patients and co workers are scared for me to put needles anywhere near them when my hands are shaking. It's embarrassing and worries me for the future.
try primidone
I have ET and was on a large dosage of wellbutrin and had a seizure. I have no idea if those two things are related or not, but I've been strongly advised to stay away from that family of medicine going forward. I thought I'd mention it. My warning sign leading up to the seizure was increased occurrence of the deja vu feeling, which I was having sometimes multiple times a day. Since the grand mal seizure (2005, when I was 23), and never taking wellbutrin again, I've felt deja vu maybe half a dozen times.
@@darcylucilly is wellbutrin indicated for ET? The only two efficient medications for ET are propranolol and primidonez as far as i know, i don't know why you both used wellbutrin, it stimulates dopamine and it's recommended for people who want to quit smoking
@@mindboard8203 wellbutrin for depression. Not ET.
I'm in a similar situation. I study acupuncture and now my tremors are getting out of control.
Hi!!! Doctor let as talk about medication!👀👈
Is there any evidence that et could be caused by lead poisoning?
The 7% progression cannot be right, it seems far too high. I am now 70 & have had essential tremor since the age of 8 years. Though it has got worse over the years, If the 7% progression rate was right I should now be totally incapable, but I'm not, I can still cope with everyday life. I suppose the figure of 7% is an average & it is less for some people & more for others.
What now
my father drank a bottle of wine every night but he never seemed to get drunk held down a job working an office I never associated with ET but he probably did it to relax unfortunately he was also a chain smoker. he left to be 86 on his tra
enorvel was probably about the same as mine at 68. sorry about the spelling I have to talk to my phone I'm sure you get it.
Is a 34 yr old too young to have this condition?
not at all, much younger people have it. i'm 34 and have it aswell
@@mindboard8203 and I'm 19
Are you kidding me charging for all of us as you put it ET sufferers?! Good for you glad you feel better. WE don’t earn we loose income. You keep being peppy. This has not helped at all
True older u get worse
Really a commercial
JUST DRINK WATER and do not over eat!! The body will look after itself. All things in moderation!!!
Fantasy island.. are you drinking the Koolaid??
Do you have an ET?
Hi Dr., I just reread my post to you and I realize that the word didn’t come out. It’s lorazepam. It helps but not very much so if you could recommend other medication’s or doctors in the Jersey area that would help I would really appreciate it. My movement specialist is wonderful but so far that’s all he’s been able to do for me is give me the lorazepamand it’s just not enough thank you
