Essential Tremor Support Group
Essential Tremor (ET) is a neurological disorder characterized by shaking of hands (and sometimes other parts of the body including the head), evoked by intentional movements. The incidence is unknown, but is estimated to be as common as one person in 20, and it is the most common type of tremor and also the most commonly observed movement disorder.
(Sorry if that sounds snippy, it's not aimed at Kateshakes at all, just a general frustration with the ET.)
I have ET and leg tremors too. Essential tremor can exist in the legs, definitely, it is just a bit less common :>
I read an article the other day and a lot of doctors seem to think that Orthostatic Tremor in the leg may just be a form of ET. The only real difference is that OT shakes happen more rapidly and respond to different medication, but in the end the patient with OT in the legs feels very similarly to the patient with ET in the leg.
I especially notice my leg tremors when I am walking down stairs or in the process of standing up or sitting down (like when I am in "squat" position)
I am 23 and have had the leg tremors since I was 10 and they have not increased in severity, so hopefully you will have a similar experience :>
