My Nonprofit Reviews

I was finally diagnosed with ET (hand tremor) in 1983 at the age of 32. I was about 10 years old when I first noticed that my hands would shake, especially in stressful situations. At the time (and for many years), I thought it was just a "nervous condition". My father also had a hand tremor so I thought I had inherited his nervousness. I have had a wonderful response to my hand tremor using Propranalol - feel extremely fortunate! However, in my late 30s, I started with a tremor also in my head. It has been a long journey with an amazing Neurologist to finally have some relief from my head tremor with Botox injections in my neck. My son, now 39, also has a hand tremor that started at the age of 3. He accepts the tremor as it is & has made a choice not to seek treatment at this point in his life. I have been a member of the IETF for many many years now and have been so grateful for ALL the information this organization provides... and for their efforts to do continued research for better ways to live with ET.
