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.

short circuit brain

When you have your tremor do you feel like your brain isn't talking to all the areas of the brain? I have right sided tremor and it has become noticeable by all. I also have a short circuit in speech and when typing my rhythm sometimes steps out of beat and then back. I do not know if I am explaining this right or not. Just need some help. Thanks for any support from anyone.

Yes, I do know what you mean. I feel the same way. When I type, sometimes write I slow down like my brain isn't working right somehow. I've had ET of the head/neck since I was young and it progressively worsens with age.

AS to your first question, I can't say,because I was born with E.T. I don't know what what it is like not to have it.

Hi Sandi,

I too have the exact problem you do. I'm not sure what they can do to fix it. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting Alzheimer's or something and I know that's not what it is. The thing where you can't remember a word is getting way worse now. I stop mid-sentence because the word just 'disappeared' from my mind. My tremors are getting worse too. The Inderol doesn't seem to be working anymore. Have you heard whether or not there's something else???
