Hello, everyone, I’m not responding to any particular person. I came across these posts and glad I did. I’ve been diagnosed with ‘Benign Essential Tremor’ AKA ‘Familial Tremor’ by a neurologist. It started several years ago, and was mild at first and only in one hand. Fast forward about 7 years and it’s in both hands, and noticeable, especially when I’m eating or doing things that require dexterity. I also have mild tremors in my head, which only my doctor has noticed so far. My father has it in his hands too. His followed the same course of intensifying over time, and is especially self-conscious when eating, and that only makes it worse. |
For the time being, I’m not taking medication specifically for the condition other than 5MG diazepam occasionally to mask the tremors when I’m around people, as long as I don’t need to be alert for driving, and that helps some. I have chronic pain from degenerative disc disease, and don’t want to add another medication. The doctor has offered deep brain stimulation, which doesn’t appeal to me either. |
I’d like to follow this forum to learn more about the condition. Thanks for reading. |

I have Essential Tremors (along with COPD, ALPHA1, AND TAKE WARFARIN FOR PEs) and am taking Clonezpam because the other drugs will mess with either my INR or COPD. i just read about a newer treatment, from MYCHART at UW MADISON, MADISON WI. it is called NEURAVIVE, and consists of brain ablation with ultrasound guided by MRI. Mayo Rochester is a treatment center and I will be going up there tomorrow 8/5/19 for other things but hope to talk to someone about this….. will advise. This is FDA approved and covered by MEDICARE. |

I have ET for 30 years and getting worse. Recently I started research on CBD oils to relief symptoms. Does anyone have experience with using oils? |

Hi rigalevin, |
I’ve just started CBD ABOUT 5 days ago primarily for pain from arthritis and fibromyalgia. I’m giving it time to take affect. I got Charlotte’s Web brand with 100mg and take it 2 times per day. It is NOT CHEAP but supposedly the best! |

Thank you John and others. I had made an inquiry about a product developed by Cala Health called Cala Trio. It is a hand device, like a watch, that apparently helps some with ET in the hands. Has anyone heard of this or been involved in the trial testing? Would appreciate any responses. |

Hi @jlind. I'm sorry I missed your post. There are some frequently asked questions for the Cala Trio on the company's website here: |

Did you get the Cala Trio? Has it helped you? |

Hi y'all, I think hand tremors are under the umbrella of Dystonia. I had hand tremors but it went away…and lo and behold, I got Spasmodic Torticollis. Most of my ten aunts, uncles and 1st cousins displayed hand tremors and other Dystonia problems. It originates in the basal ganglia that controls body movements. It can be Genetic.That's my two cents worth because this disease has made my relatives miserable and my Spasmodic Torticollis unbearable at times.. |

Does anyone have hand tremors? Usually it is just my left hand. I had a particularly active day on Friday so i didnt feel up to much yesterday. So, i really needed to clean today. I picked up the clutter in our living room. Then i got a really bad headache. When i started cutting veggies for supper, my hands started shaking so bad i was afraid i would cut my fingers! I finished but i cut big chunks. Lol |
My questions are: (1)When you have tremors is it because you over exerted and (2) is yours preempted by a headache? |

My hands sometimes tremble after I drink coffee. I haven't noticed any correlation with exercise. Peggy |

Hello, @jl1 – glad you connected with @pfbacon. Just wanted to let you know I've moved your post on hand tremors here to an existing conversation on the same topic, so you can meet others discussing them. Please meet members such as @johnbishop @oakbourne @jlind @thankful @techi @kathystl and others. |
Hoping some of them will have some further input on your questions: (1)When you have tremors is it because you over exerted and (2) is yours preempted by a headache? |
jl1 – do you notice any other activities in particular where hand tremors appear for you? |
