My mother had essential tremors in both hands at the age of 16, so the ill-logic of ET having to do with the aged is a misconception. This disease effects anyone, any age, male and females and many times it's hereditary.

It is hereditary, I have had essential tremors in both hands and arms, and I had 5 uncles on my
father's side that had it. I have had it since I was 20 I am now 81. It is good to join essential tremor.org They have new information every month.
I hate ET so much, there is no right fix for it, yes they have the Operation on the brain, but there are side effects to that, they can only do one hand, then I think a year later you can do
the other, you don't know how long it will last. As you grow older it gets worse, I can not
write anymore.
I think we should have a group for ET, that is by itself, what do you all think?
