You may have noticed that the guestbook is being targetted by spammers lately. I am trying to delete the comments as soon as they appear but it isn't always possible. Most of the posts have been advertising meds but lately I have had a few related to porn sites and I offer my apologies to anyone who was offended by the graphic titles used.
I urge everyone not to click on any of the links provided by the low lifes who are invading this guestbook and rest assured each an every one of them are being reported

I have Essential Tremor. Thanks for the site. I am thinking about Botox for the shaking of my right hand. I also get the head shaking, and my whole body shakes when I am stressed! The past 5 years have become very shaky for me. I am now just 54 years old and take good care of my health, but lately my stress in my life is abundant! Take care of the choices you make and stay authentic. Prayer helps calm me down. Praise Jesus.

I am 35 and have just been diagnosed with a benign essential tremor. Although I am gutted about this my greatest fear was that I had Parkinsons (my sister was diagnosed 3 years ago with young onset parkinsons at 36) so to be honest I was relieved to have an essential tremor instead of PD! I have not yet started any medication for this as I am still being sent for MRI scans, blood tests etc to rule out anything else but I am hoping that the meds will sort out my shaking hands (which have become worse over the last year) and especially my "wobbly head" which is definately more embarrassing.

i can not remember not shaking......
Dale, I am sorry to tell you that it is a condition which is with us forever, although it can be controlled with medication. Although your beta blockers aren't controlling it at the min. you could ask to be put on a higher dosage or ask to try a different beta blocker. Just keep on annoying your medical practitioner until you find a medication which suits. Other avenues, such as Gamma Knife Surgery (see left hand menu) have a high success rate but I am not sure how readily available it is in your area
