essential tremor

[chocolateegg]

I had this diagnosed at 16 and am now in my early forties. Even now I get fed up of people pointing it out and wondered whether anyone knew of any effective treatments for this. I have been mostly prescribed propanalol which only has minor improvements. Unfortunately it goes hand in hand with anxiety though I met someone with it recently who doesn't get anxious at all.

Am interested in getting as much info as possible, especially treatments available in other parts of the world eg: USA (am in the UK)

Thankyou

My father has a tremor that has got worse with age - my grandmother had it too so I'm not looking forward to the probability of getting it later on. I think that he has found some on-line assistance, and this might be the group he's found useful tremor foundation
