I've had an essential tremor for many years, I got it from my dad. I just know it's going to get worse as I age and all I can really do about it is wear wrist weights to keep me more stable.

Yes, I get the shakes a lot. I also have what I call the drops. I will be holding something, and my hand will just let go. Very frustrating for me. It is happening more and more.

It's important to discuss any new or worsening tremors with your healthcare provider, as they can help determine if any adjustments to your treatment plan might be helpful. Some members have found these strategies helpful for managing hand tremors:

• Taking frequent rest breaks during activities
• Using adaptive tools and devices when needed
• Staying hydrated
• Maintaining consistent sleep patterns
• Avoiding caffeine if it triggers tremors
• Using stress management techniques

Yes, I do. I'm taking Primadone which has helped some. I still have my hands shake especially when I'm tired, frustrated, or stressed. But it's not as severe as it used to be.
You might check with your doctor to see if it could help you. 💖🙏💖
