I am sorry to hear that. I am just wondering if you have ever been in a position where you can try accupucture or massage for the nerve damage. You would have to get a doctor to refer you to have it paid for, otherwise like everything else the costs just keep going up when it comes out of your own pocket. I haven't been back to my accupuncturist since covid hit, but when raking and leaf blowing ends I will be making another appointment to see if she can help with essential tremors. I can almost bet her answer will be, YES.

Hi,
I have had to many surgeries to have acupuncture work. I've tried it. I
can't take much massage because I have Fibromyalgia.. We all have so many
issues that hurts another issue.

From your lips to God’s ears!! It doesn’t look like I’ll find a Neuro for my ET. Maybe if I had a different dx I would be seen?

Do you know anyone - I don’t care if they belong to Mayo or not at this point!
Thanks,
Karen

Karen, I'm new to all of this, since I started out thinking I was waking up to a vibrating bed because my little dog was cold. I woke up several times a night to cover him up, until last week I realized it was me vibrating and not him!!!! I'm wondering if you have tried accupuncture at all? I plan to try it as soon as leaf cleaning season is over.

Thanks. It's a bummer to not be able to find treatments for things. Are you able to meditate or do gentle Yoga?

I do chair exercises and stretch as much as possible...
Your right about treatments. It's crazy how many things a person can deal
with , with no pain relief. I don't take anything , but Tylenol when it's
a high level.. it helps just a bit to handle it..
