Default ET..........

This is a true story.

I come from a totally different end of the country as my friend. They look like me. Same height, same weight. People even thought we were twins! Or at least siblings. A lot of same interests.

I developed autoimmunity, they also developed autoimmunity of a different but related kind.
We both have ADD and autistic traits.
We've went to almost identical other ailments.
Now I realized we both have essential tremor. Their mom has it, my dad has it. They both have it bad. We have it mild but we're much younger. What made me not realize we had one more same thing was they have it like head shaking and I have it like hand shaking. I have no idea it was both ET.

Anyway, I don't want to end up as my dad if I live that long. He has a very bad intention tremor in his dominant hand (is where mine is worst as well), I am an artist (of course my friend is too.... just btw, LOL) and I cannot "afford" that.

So for when I get older and maybe worse, what are the drugs? I found one that seemed good but it is not available in my country.

I have never found an answer to this else than this is genetic. Well, duh.

My second last psychiatrist thought I was high because of my tremor. It was highly unpleasant. She stressed me and then it got even worse! Ugh.
