Thanks to everyone who has written to me privately here and on FB about having these tremors. I've heard from about 7 people who suffer with shaking and about 4 have been diagnosed with exactly what i have.

Update:

Went to Doc last week due to my back but i mentioned that new treatment with "waves" sent to the brain that has actually totally stopped the shaking in people with Essential Tremors. He said he has been watching this closely as well and is a member, so am i, of the National Essential Tremor Foundation. He says it is too early to request this treatment, but to hang in there. He said another year and it should be a go.

That's good news for me, and for anyone else that shakes due to this disease. I will continue to update this thread with more research and more information as i find it. Feel free to do so yourself if you want, or private messaging me is fine of course.

Hang in there shakers, help may just be around the corner!!!!!
