I totally agree that exercise and water intake are important to feeling well and having more energy. For an elderly person like me, the doc said 7,000 steps was a good goal. I use an elliptical machine because I have some back problems. I also find 30 minutes of daily yoga very helpful for mobility and stress. And reducing sugar and starches made me less sleepy. We can't cure ET, but I wish doctors would underscore how much we can do to improve quality of life.
