← Return to Essential tremors: Anyone experiencing shaking?

I have had familial essential tremor for years. My mother and two aunts had it. Two of my cousins have it. It is becoming worse as I age, and I had a neurological visit about a month ago to rule out any other conditions. He offered a couple of medication options which I declined at this time. I can revisit those options later if it becomes totally unmanageable.
The main times that I experience it is when I am task focused such as writing, putting on makeup, fastening jewelry, or at times my voice shakes when I speak for long periods of time. It is mostly my head and hands that shake, although at times it feels like I am shaking internally. It can be very frustrating and aggravating, but it is not terminal so I just deal with it.

Does it cause you to not sleep when it is internal? My 46yr old son complains of that.

Your tremors are about the same as mine apparently ! How do you manage keyboarding (typing)? Thanks for sharing. Glenn
