Tremors

[RuthD]

I was just diagnosed with some kind of tremors. I forgot what it is called but it runs in families. I shake really bad and people are always telling me about it and I got tired of it because it has become much worse. I don't think anything else happens but these incidental tremors or something like that. Has anyone else had them? I am going to start of a medicine for them tonight. I pray it works and does not have a lot of side effects.

 

[James 1:27]

Praying the Lord Jesus will touch your body and cease the tremors. May your health be restored. Give wisdom to Ruth and her doctors. In Jesus name.

I suffer from the same, have done for several years, my mother did too, so I understand. The neurologist recommended a small glass of red wine every day which helped and a month ago he told me to take a strong cup of coffee in the morning....so far it´s working.

Best wishes

I'm so glad you are getting relief, that's wonderful!

for you Ruth.

Thanks so much!

I start week 2 of the medicine tonight and that is an increase in it. I think I've got awhile to go before this stuff kicks in, or hopefully kicks in.

Update: the pills have helped my writing improve but I'm still shaking a lot. I just began the full dose last night. I hope this works.

Hey Ruth. Was is Essential Tremor by any chance? Essential tremor is a type of tremor that usually does run in families and is sometimes called familial tremor. I was diagnosed with this myself last year. My tremors involve my head mainly which shakes in a 'no-no' type way and my hands tend to be quite trembly at times too. I am on propanolol to help cotrol the shakes with moderate sucess. Praying that God's grace can be renewed everyday.

Does it get worse if you get nervous or angry? Is the medicine effective?

Yes the tremor does tend to get worse if I am nervous or upset. It doesn't even need to be something that I conciously react to. Sometimes just the process of getting ready or the prospect of going somewhere can set it off. I might add since it has been a while since I last posted my tremors have worsened some but are still managable. The medication does help but it doesn't take the tremor away completely.

i have tremors as well. only mine are from my medication. They are not fun. Especially when people always as you "whats wrong with you?" "Why are you shaking?"

I also have essential tremors. They started when I was around 8, but no one was able to diagnose me till I went to Chrildren's Medical Center at 19! I was given epolipsy meds but the potential sides effects were worse than the tremors. Is the medicine you were given helping?
