Thank you for this information, I see my neurologist in August as I also have Familial Essential Tremor. And I am having so many other symptoms that I’m hoping she will actually check me out instead of just saying that it’s the tremor that is causing my other symptoms, which I don’t agree with. I have been researching my symptoms and they are symptoms of MS but she tells me that I don’t have that or Parkinson’s or MS. We all know our bodies and what is happening and they just don’t listen.

Neurologists have to rule out potential causes. Mine did with MS, NMO, etc., but what led to my new diagnosis, which she had not been familiar with, was how well it fit the interrelationship of my various symptoms and my taking of steroids, plus how that interrelationship fit with my MRIs and other test results. My first symptoms emerged in 9/23, so with a diagnosis of clippers in 5/24 one can see how long it can take to come up with a diagnosis like this. I am going to find out more about clippers when I see a NYU Langone specialist on 6/12.

have you considered a second opinion?
