I am new to this site. This is the first I have heard of functional tremors. I have been treated for ET for about 30 years. I am currently on a small dose of Topomax which really does nothing. I have been to a Movement Disorder Specialist and she advised NOT to use the Topomax but I am unable to tolerate the other alternative medications.
The specialist has strongly urged me to have Botox injections. I just had some in the last week (1st try). Two in the neck and three in the right forearm.
This is all very bad timing for me because I just had a breast cancer lumpectomy in June, followed by radiation in August. But the Botox office said it was very difficult to get appointments so I went with it. We will have to see how things go. I just vibrate some days.
