Essential Tremor

[listboys]

I have AC 1 and a Syringohydromyelia.  I also shake.  I had a microdecompression in 1997=otherwise I am fine.  I am 17 years old now.  Does anyone else shake?

Yes I notice I get them when I am trying to make something with my hands I have had them my whole life as well, but never knew why until this past year. The siezures I also have had since I was 15 and died for 5 min, but the Dr's at the time never figured out why, they told me my vegus nerve just stopped working?!?  
That's great you have continuous support!
Chicago, do you live there?
My mom owns a resturant there, well in Antioch. R u far?

These tremors are contant when doing fine motor skills - Essential Tremor--I have had them since the age of 4.  My Dr. was at Childrens Memorial in Chicago but he has retired.  The whole staff there continues to be supportive

Hi,....I too get tremors....mostly in my hands. It comes and goes...nothing regular.

I used to twitch alot too...like edeneyes80, but I did have some vitamin and mineral def...so I am guessing that was it.I do not twich like I used too.

I also believe alot of the symptoms cycle...do u notice that?

Welcome to the site and I hope we see u here on the boards.This is a great place for info and support!!

Godspeed

Hey there,

Yes I get the shakes too!  Mostly in my arms, but t night why I lay down my whole body twitches and sometimes I go into siezures. I have not had the surgery yet though.  Where did you have your surgery? What was the name of your Dr?
