Today is my 12th wedding anniversary, and i still feel the "butterflies in my tummy " effect when i look at my dear husband :-).It's not the same though anymore , i have to share my dh with severe essential tremors .....and his not doing to well emotionally and physically .....
I was born and raised in South Africa and came to USA 12 years ago,now living in Michigan and loving every momemt of it.
I just don't know where to seek out help for my dh anymore.I have started him on grape seed extract and primrose oil together with his inderol.My,Our life has been "put on hold" and i honestly don't know what to do now, my dh is moody , depressed and just not himself .He let's his left arm "hang" as if it's dead weight and i'm waiting for him to bounce back to life .gosh! theres just too much to say right now.
anyways, :-) my name is Dee , 37 years of age and a stay at home mom.

i meant to mention that our Movement Disorders forum deals with Essential Tremors
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65

but also maybe ask on the Parkinson's Forum as they are a really clued up group who may have info for you too

hi clouds. that is a good link, but did you maybe misread...that ivydancers husband had tremors..not tumors?

welcome to neurotalk ivydancer. hang in there. the parkinsons group will be a big help.

joyce on that site is a nurse and she has all sorts of medical inforamtion

she was in gulf war one in 1990 and i think a hospital is named for her st lukes episciol riley maybe i herd her say that

hi Chemar . kaapernaatjie eh! :-)
same here ,born in cape town too.
thanks a ton for the heads up guys.
does anyone know of personal stories or forums about ET or movement dis orders rather than medical journal write ups.
my dh would rather be more comfortable reading and relating to other people's personal experiences than "studies and findings " on ET.
thank you :-)
Cloud Z : i speak afrikaans as my first language yet i'm not a boer (lol) , my true language is really a medley of both afrikaans and english mixed into what my mother used to say "kombuis taal" kitchen language ....
:-)
