Discussion Anyone with Essential Tremor

[Darkhaven]

Just to discuss some things with people who also have this annoying and possibly disabilitating disease.

I do! It's utter hell. I hate that I always look nervous, especially in public or around new people, because my hands shake tremendously whenever. Handing a cashier my card, picking up a drink, and even smoking shows the world that I can't stop shaking.

Does essential tremor play a part in you being here?
And, if i may ask, did your tremor got worse since you were diagnosed?
Feel free to not answer if you don't want to.

It doesn't influence me being here, it just makes me want to ctb quicker. I want to have a good time while I'm still here and forget about the troubles of life, but having essential tremor makes little tasks infuriating because I can't do things the way I used to. I also haven't noticed it getting worse since I was diagnosed; if anything it has gotten less constantly severe

That's good to know.
Good luck and thank you!
