i am a 79 yr. old great grandma/ i have had essentiial tremors about 4 yrs. i have always been very hyperactive and under lots of stress so i am not surprised that i have this. it started out with my neck and head shaking but now is in my hands and my voice . i have a hard time talking on the phone but i can still comunicate on the computer. i have other ailments, too which go along with old age, but i am a happy person . i know it must be awful for younger people to have this disease. it is already showing up in some of my children at young ages. i would like to know different things others are doing to cope with it and what medications they are using. best wishes to all, Grandma
