Essential Tremor Support Group

between weakness, balance issues, tremors of varying degrees, illegible handwriting... lots of symptoms, but no real diagnosis yet. I've been fighting depression, but I just lost one of my jobs because of my "presence" and my cane.

Ugh - I know I've not been around much but that's part of the depression and the struggle to hit keys!

Hi

Good to se you again. We don't puch a time clock here....come and go as you can.

Thanks. It does go on and on. I've been reading posts from the past 2 years. It appears that we suffer similarly maybe at different times, but we all experience chronic symptoms with aggravations. geez It's as if I'm ticking my life away w/meds, dr appts, monitoring tremors, pain, etc.

Luv y'all and hope all of us had a good T'giving and can get thru Christmas with as few massive tremors as possible.

I don't but I've only had tremors for about 3 or 4 years if that make any difference. Besides the shaking, I've noticed a balance problem lately.
