Essential Tremors (ET) does not mean Parkinson's or MS. They do an MRI and can rule that out. (with other things). There are really good meds out there for (head/hand tremors). There are also natural remedies. People stare at people with ET, and they assume they have Parkinson's/MS.

Caffine also makes it worse, and I used my asthma inhailer the other day and it made it worse also.
Being sick, lack of sleep, diet, weather changes, and anxiety can increase the level of Essential Tremors (ET).

It is still hard to live with even if not parkinsons..... is there any type of brain stimulation that may help aleviate some of the symptoms? I know they do that with parkinsons now.
They can do gamma knife treatment in some cases for (ET).

No. You already have to have Essential Tremors. Certain things can trigger and increase. (and then goes back to what it usually is)

@Imaoldhippie Absolutely. This person needs a thorough work up-from testing thyroid to evaluating any current meds; evaluating chemical imbalances and metabolic issues.
That doctor was dismissive and I would not go back to him/her.
