Essential tremor. Really getting me down. Need advice

[Ririgirl95]

I’m pretty sure I have a tremor. My mum has it quite bad and my granda also had it. I notice when I get really nervous I would literally shake so bad not just my hands but in my head for example if I was arguing with someone it would be so bad or if I’m at a interview anything basically that raises my anxiety levels. But it’s kind of effecting my life because I couldn’t go and get my eyebrows done/eyelashes done/ hair done because I would not be able to keep still, unless I was drunk then the shaking stops altogether 😂
I also notice it more now because I do a hairdressing course and we sometimes practice on each other and sometimes I just have to tell the teachers no because I just know with everyone shaking my head would shake and it would be so embarrassing.

has anybody experienced this before? I feel like I wouldn’t be half as anxious or anti social if I didn’t have this 💔 I’m only 30.
P.s was also just at the doctors today about it and they tbh didn't really do much about it. They made me follow there finger and they did notice my head shaking etc. done some other tests aswell which ruled anything serious out made me touch my toes standing up etc. she just said it's part of who I am and booked me in for a talking therapy session about it in a month.. not sure what help that will do tbh. I take propanol for it but I was given that years ago for anxiety but I find it doesn't do much. I can't take a high dose of it either because I always suffer with low blood pressure. So always only take about 20/30mg.

Thanks for listening guys it is getting me down. Also the only thing that takes it away is alcohol. If I'm having a couple drinks it completely goes away. Which is annoying because in social situations I find myself drinking more which isn't a good thing.

We get it in bulk powder form, much cheaper and you can weigh out precise dose if you have a mini scale (advisable, example here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Jewellery-Weighing-New-Horrizon/dp/B08813G3VS/ref=sr_1_3?adgrpid=52670106465&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mbfmKUaSg9d3SLJtyzj0SX9RQiaw20DobiqHXAyJaKAD3m6Xlc6UxHmSMK_SFVCNoeok5PxRhXrMF_qiF-ejEBCoDAtcxsTsgJek5yTXVz_fn4PO3WLy_QTAUEhjfhBZevFub3el8YVbcx_jQUHsbvmCffvCJsPxYdx70WbRTzjF07hajKUnga2zRw6rb7wyEjPFkd5W5h4JjbFGCJusr8KADFQIX3vXbP9as5R3i8c.o01pOwn6QZFe3fonV2RDHl6Xi5_foFjDTIiR8tWe-Lg&dib_tag=se&hvadid=259065901652&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006779&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14130765280172234731&hvtargid=kwd-300661897648&hydadcr=28147_1752672&keywords=micro%2Bscales&qid=1733833438&sr=8-3&th=1 ). Only higher doses work on tremor (and apparently Parkinson's, many scientific papers on this) so do build up to bowel tolerance and don't just stay on lower dose as it won't do much. https://www.bulksupplements.com/en-GB/products/glutathione-reduced?variant=32133404852335&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=United%20Kingdom%20Multifeeds&utm_content=Glutathione%20Powder%20(Reduced%20Form)&currency=GBP&utm_campaign=21527205568&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=&ad_id=707650108287&wickedsource=google&wickedid=CjwKCAiA6t-6BhA3EiwAltRFGDnTbwFHFRmSjX79Ph_h4Q-9gCKS6VzcvIpMuO8JgE5JGzHhUruuMhoCHuwQAvD_BwE&wickedid=707650108287&wcid=21527205568&wv=4&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD46g0DhIxvnauUkkDL2rOUa3JRVL&gclid=CjwKCAiA6t-6BhA3EiwAltRFGDnTbwFHFRmSjX79Ph_h4Q-9gCKS6VzcvIpMuO8JgE5JGzHhUruuMhoCHuwQAvD_BwE sorry for long link.

The glutathione didn't give DH the sh-ts until he increased dose beyond bowel tolerance. Then he immediately decreased dose and no more sh-ts. But it needs a high dose to go beyond bowel tolerance. if you build up slowly you will be fine. It is exactly like high dose vitamin C in this respect.

Thank you! This also Probly keeps away sicknesses since it's vitamin C? X

Yes like vit c glutathione is an antioxidant and helps immunity in similar ways. It is also a very safe supplement.

However, important not to neglect magnesium and B vitamins -- see my early post.

Hi @Ririgirl95
I know this is an old post, just wanted to ask did you find anything that helped with the shaking, I experience the same thing so keen to know how you got on.
