Essential Tremor
by barfer, Mar 21, 2008 08:17AM
I have essential tremor that primarily effects my legs. I also have it in my hands and sometimes it effects my voice. Lately, I have noticed that my trunk has a very fine tremor as well. I find that besides having difficulty standing in one spot for any length of time, sitting is a problem if there is no back on the chair. If there is a back, my tremor subsides. Is this essential tremor, too? I wasn't aware that you could have it in this part of the body.

Essential tremors do occur in areas other than hands and feet. These are fine tremors, usually about 8 Hz.
Your symptoms are those of essential tremors. When you have a chair with a back, the body is rested against the support. In such a state, the tremors are not obvious, but they are there.
