I have it too. Not as bad though, but I'm only 19. It somehow shifts in intensity, so some times it's barely noticeable and other times it is so intense that I have to people help be carrying cups of tea from my school cantina to our classroom cause I'd spill it all over the halls otherwise. The most heart breakning thing about this, for me, is that I love playing music, and I fear for my ability to do so as the condition worsens.
I have had shakey hands since I can remember, I'm now 50 and it's getting worse. A fellow RN told me it is ET. I had never heard of it before. I am a textbook example. I am always asked, "Why are you shaking?" Sometimes I don't even realize it. I am going to my PCP to see if meds help. It is sooooo frustrating. You should see me trying to put on my eye makeup...not pretty!
I am 53 and have had essential tremor since I was in my 20's. My mother had it and her father so it is definitely genetic. My children have a 50% chance of getting it. I was fairly controlled with propranolol, primadone but had to drop the propranolol because of low blood pressure. They are currently doing clinical trials for a non invasive ultrasound treatment in the brain for this disorder. I am very excited about it.
Thanks for the vid. I found that higher fiber in the diet and a good night's sleep help me some. Outset of ET is not always genetic as my parents don't have it, but 50% chance of your kids having it.
I too have essential tremors, makes it interesting when using the mouse or writing (my hand writing hand jerks). It always affects me, but I am on medication (Propanolol). Yes the common question is "why do you shake). I never really understood why my hands shake. But it has been like this since probably Grade 5 and I am 46 now. I believe it is hereditary, its just a matter of who in your family gets it. My dad has it, my sister has it (as far as I know of).
I have had this in my right hand for years. I have had to learn to do everything with my left hand- eat, drink, etc. Thank god it isn't in my left or I would be in trouble. It gets worse when I know someone is watching me, I can remember being in front of a bank teller and having to fill out a deposit slip and the pressure of knowing that she was watching made me use my left hand for the first time. I think she had to get a translator to read the thing- ha ha. Caffeine/alcohol=worse
Hi, im doing a research on all kind of Tremors. Ive read everywhere that ET is only postural and kinetic(simple, Intention) tremor. But writing is task-specific tremor. Is it only in your case? or everyone has it? Also making a fist is an isometric tremor. Which is not usual for ET.
Mine's not as bad, but all the thing's she's doing especially on how she holds her pen or writes her name, or draws circles is very similar to what I have.
I love drawing, but even with all of my years of experience, there's still a 50% likelihood my drawing will turn out sloppy and aesthetically displeasing to my eye.
quite frankly I am a big supplement person, with mild reacently diganosed ET, since I am taking much higher dosage of D3, B12 and balanced B, I notice an improvement, to all Keep The Faith and be positive
I have this. Not as bad, I can control it when doing actions such as writing or playing sports, Mine is only postural, and sometimes it it barely noticeable. I am 19, so I have many years of this 'slowly processing disorder' to look forward too :/
now ik why my neurologist had me draw a scwiggle like and right my name. i mean i new that he wud look to see if my hand shaked when i tried to write but now i no he looked at the outcome too bc he drew one next to mine.
There are 4 kids in my family. My sister who is 8 years younger than me (she is 42 and the youngest) has it. Another brother has Parkinsons (diagnosed in his 40's). My other brother and I so far are ok (we are in our 50's).
I have Essential Tremors too. I'm a teacher at a difficult school...so you can imagine how mean the kids can be. I get sick of hearing "Why are you shaking?" and "Dude...dat teacher wuz so mad she be shaking."
Thank u . It is also called postural or action tremor , it is genetic and has autosomal dominant mode of inheritance which means usually 50% of your children will be affected too , ofcourse not always . U can dicrease it by take little of alcohol or by using beta blockers medicine . Thank u
I'm 17 years old. I found out that I had ET when I was in 4th grade at an early age. The tremors has slowly progressed throughout the years and It's really hard for me to go out and do common things in the public without feeling embarrassed. I tried beta-blocks for like a month starting out with just a half a pill in the first month and a whole one in the second and It didn't do much. My heart also felt like it was always changing up beats so I got off it cause I didn't like the feeling.
I have ET as well, one advice which helped me, No coke, no coffee, no alcohol, take omega 3 pills every day, dubbel dose, sleep at least 10 hours a night! good luck
Oh and another thing, if you haven't done so already, many patients find relief from taking beta-blockers...this is something you could consider talking to your physician about during your next visit.
Yes, essential tremor is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner (males and females both affected, about 50% chance of passing it on to your offspring). Thanks for posting the video...great learning tool as well!
Thanks for posting this piece. Luckily it's a slowly progessive disorder for me. I have several other diseases, autoimmune in nature, whose symptoms can worsen the tremors. Good luck and good health to all!
This is pretty much inherited through family as I have the same thing, but the only time my tremor acts up is when I am under emotional stress such as when my temper flares up, I get very angry, then my left hand tremors and my head slightly bobs..people think I am afraid which is not the case! I had no idea what I had until my Uncle told me he had the same thing and what it was caused from..Alcoholism from my grandparents. My whole side of my moms family has it.! This is a sad disorder!
hey i also am very shaky more shaky then you but i dont have it when writing .. depends mostly i have it in stretched hands on both sides i was also very shaky in some movements while excersize when i use to excersize i'm 23 now almost 24
but ive been shaky since i was a teenager. also develeped fasciculations 2 years ago. its fcked up :) i hate neurological disorders and disease's :( always NO CURE
a very similar expression of ET as mine. writing is getting to be so hard for me! are you taking medication for it? i take propranolol for it, and it helps a lot. best wishes, mrgeniusontv
It is hereditary. I'm the only child in my family who has this disorder but my father also has it. I feel bad because I don't shake nearly as bad as you do.
Thanks for posting this video. I can totally relate. I also have ET. I have trouble with writing and it sometimes is hard to type on a computer keyboard. I also have the tremors in my legs.
Thanks for posting this video. In my research, I've found that essential (action) tremors are hereditary. They're inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. At least that's how the literature describes it. So if you're carrying just 1 allele for the tremor, you have a 50% chance of passing it on to your kids. If you carry two alleles for the tremor, all your kids will get have the tremor.

ET is not "primarily" hereditary. Only 50% of cases appear to hereditary. Half is not "primarily".
