I have been diagnosed with Essential tremors. Left hand is worse than right and some shaking of head . I have been prescribed
Primidone and Propanadol 2x a day.
I also use a special utensil to eat fuel to weakness in my hand. My neurologist wants me to see a Motion doctor. Has anyone gone to one and what did they do to help?
I hate to add another doctor but will it will help. My sister also has essential tremors but not as bad. I was told that they are generic but I don't know any relatives that ever had it. Thank you

Hello @purpleturtle. You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on Essential Tremors, which you can find here:

At Mayo Clinic, you may find more information when searching for Movement Disorders in place of Motion Doctors. I have provided a link for you to learn more about the type of care that is offered to see if this is the direction you were advised on before sharing more.

How long have you been living with essential tremors?
