Well, after getting tired of all the We miss you emails, I finally decided to come back and post here

[Raven]

Damn tremor in my arm! So frustrating, finding it hard to type now. Might have to quit playing guitar.

Hello there! Sorry to hear about this tremor. Have you always had this or is it something new?

I'm so happy you're doing good. I was just thinking about you the other day and Poof here you are. I should have thought about you sooner!

I've been really busy too but I'm doing well and thank you for asking!

Always had it but it's got worse.

 

[Jazzy]

Always had it but it's got worse.

Do you think the guitar playing is making it worse?

 

[Raven]

No as i've not played it properly for a year or so.



This tremor is progressive though, and its been alot worse than before over the past 6 months or so. To the point were I struggle to write :/

Have you had it checked out?

 

[Raven]

Nope, I don't really see what the docs can do, I don't have any other problems relating to it.



I've read alot about it and people with an essential tremor don't just get it in there arms and hands, but they're head, tongue, and legs. My head twitches sometimes uncontrollably but it's only hands and arms that can be a problem.



I know ETs are quite common and I don't want to have to take drugs so i've never thought of bothering a doctor.

Fair enough that you don't want to go see a doctor. I, on the other hand, would want to know the cause of it.

 

[Raven]

Won't get anywhere then, The cause of ETs are unknown

If an essential tremor occurs in more than one member of a family, it is called a familial tremor. This type of essential tremor is passed down through families (inherited), which suggests that genes play a role in its cause.



My dads hands shook a little when he was younger, but nothing like mine do. His hands don't shake anymore.

Interesting. My friend had a tremor in her left hand but it didn't happen all the time. She went to the doctor and they did an EMG test. They found out the when she moved her arm a certain way, it trapped a nerve in her upper arm. That trapped nerve was the cause of the tremor. They gave her medication but it didn't work. They then did reconstructive surgery of the trapped nerve. The tremor was gone and had never come back. I guess each case/cause of a tremor is different.

 

[Raven]

Yea I guess so.



I've been looking at some herbal stuff called TremorSooth, or something like that. Sounds quite good and has good ratings, I might see if some of the shops in Norwich sell it. Should think Holland & Barrett would do something similar.

I've also bought a pair of those hand grip things to see if strengthening my forearm muscles helps stop the shakes.

The herbal sounds like a good idea to at least try it. Hand grip also looks like a good idea too!

 

[Jazzy]
