I am worried because my appt is for psychiatry and everyone has been treating me as such.
This tremor and other issues have been ongoing and the tremor is getting worse.
I saw a neuroligist and he said it was a essential tremor and prescribed Benztropine and it never helped...Plus my tremor is a resting tremor and i researched it and essential tremor is when you perform a task...Mine are at rest and lessen when i use my hand.
I no doubt have anxiety that started after getting covid....Never had it prior in 53 yrs?
The tremor began about a year ago.
I am just worried they may only look at the mental side of things and not my physical
symptoms.
Like my heel drag...hand and leg tremors...balanance and bladder issues.

@da69 It seems from what you wrote that you have many physical symptoms. I hope that the doctor you see at Mayo can sort all that out for you.
By the way, the tremor that you refer to as an essential tremor is actually an "intention tremor". An intention tremor is when you reach for something like a cup and your hand then shows a tremor.
Here is a good website to read on the different types of tremors.
