" Best wishes with your essential tremor. I just lived with my tremor limitations and embarrasment, but you may not be able to. I'd recomment you make a list of the tasks you need to do, and those you either can no longer do, cannot do well, or are significantly impacted in doing. I retired from engineering profession in 1999. I had DBS Surgery in Dallas in April of this year (2011), and so far I like it. "

" Although the Federal Gov't isn't too willing......I got a lawyer and I'm considered 100% disabled now. I really don't like the "label" but it's the facts that matter. Since then, I got DBS surgery on both sides and I'm functional. Good luck. It took me 3 denials and apppeals before anyone would listen to me. "
