How old are you all? I am 83, and all my female friends my age seem to have ET. We just thought it came with the territory

Seems like to some extent you are absolutely correct, @amomynous, according to this Mayo Clinic article on essential tremor that indicates age is a risk factor, with it occuring more commonly in those ages 40 and older https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/essential-tremor/symptoms-causes/syc-20350534.

@sadnancy - do you find yourself employing any strategies to manage the tremor?
