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.
Do most people with et also have the head bobbing? Also do your shakes, say in your hand, seem to go into a almost a spasm? No pain or muscle tightening, but like a tick that goes ouf of control? Sorry, it's hard to expain.

I encourage everyone with an autoimmune disease or tremor to get tested for gluten sensitivity/celiac disease. My symptoms are less pronounced and I think for the first time ever I'm getting some nutrition finally. I was diagnosed 6 months ago and am grain and dairy-free. Feel so much better, and can't go back to my old way of eating, even if I wanted to. Hopefully I will feel better and better.
The experts now are saying that those that have ataxia, may have celiac/gluten problems. So thankful I found out before it was too late, and I started getting other autoimmune problems.
Good luck to all
