Essential tremors: Anyone experiencing shaking?

I’ve was diagnosed with essential tremors about 5yrs ago and they prescribed primidone and Xanax. I also received Botox injections in my neck every 3 months to control my head movements. Last year I was approved for DBS surgery but it has been postponed indefinitely due to a lung cancer diagnosis. My meds have been changed to topiramate & clonazepam as I undergo cancer treatment. The shaking in my arms and hands is making everyday functions quite difficult. The tremors are not constant but are worse when active and at night.

Dave, my best friend had botox injections in muscles of the forearm, which completely relieved her hand tremors. She saw a neurologist who would find the muscle causing the tremor using a machine called a rehapiano. It would last usually for four months. You are really in the middle of it. Better days ahead.
