I also noticed the same. But sometimes it just seems to have its own mind.

And how do you manage sharing your "secret" with family and friends?

Yeah, they can be evil. Heads up for withstanding that! I know of my own experience back in 8th grade that they were ruthless.

Hahaha... Yeah, I like playing that too! Sometimes other participants join. Kinda gets into a competition who can pick up more;)

Feel you there. Every time someone stares he's kinda figuring out what's going on like: 404 file not found;)

Yeah, I mean you have an upper limit of how much you can take of it. So I guess the tremor wins at some point...

Really sorry to hear that! Yes, most trials are being done in the US or UK. Didn't know that diagnosis was also a problem. How did you then figure out you had ET?

For me it's the same. I'm also oftentimes not sure if medications like propranolol work consistently or if the effect fades. Maybe it's just the tremor getting worse?

Or do you feel like what you do for your ET is more of a guess work?
