essential tremors
 

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 :)

Hi grandma and welcome to NeuroTalk. I'm not sure if we have a forum for Essential Tremors





Perhaps someone will come along with another suggestion. :)

Hi, grandma! :Wave-Hello: Welcome to NeuroTalk!

Grandma, B12 Testing
 

I was wondering if you have ever had your blood level of your vitamin B12 tested? My step mother has Essential Tremors and they are supplementing her with B12.
