Colleen, I could not find you again I wrote a reply to someone else, I just got on
this and not sure how to use it, but I just found you.
My daughter has it in her legs and not really bad in her hands yet.
I use a straw with everything I drink, I shake too much to bring the glass up to my mouth.
and I make a lot of messes for myself to clean up. using a blow dryer on my hair I bang my
head a lot.
There is also a support group I have been in for a long time. it is ---essential tremor.org that
is very helpful also. Anything you need help with just ask me, I have been through it all.
I can't even write anymore, lost it about 5 years ago. Don't ever rush that will make you
shake even more, never rush!!!
good luck and you just have to try and figure the easy way for yourself.

@marcia115, I’m glad you were able to post again and really appreciate the picture you painted of what it is like to live with essential tremors and the support that you’ve found. It sounds like you have learned to have patience with yourself. I can imagine that took a lot of self talk. Never rush is also a good tip. I suspect any additional stress makes the tremors worse.
