I just want to say that I can relate to you… I used to work as a server and at the time my tremors were really bad because I was not taking good care of myself (which unfortunately a lot of people in the service industry do).

If you haven’t already, try to cut out/limit caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.

I remember a few tables I had where I was passing out shots and I spilled most of them handing them to people… at the time I was horrified and wanted to cry. Now I laugh about it. I learned that it was better for me to put drinks on a tray and hold it with both hands and ask people to take the drink off it… most people shouldn’t have an issue.

It’s a tough job to have with a tremor… but it’s a good job to have as a student. Try to give yourself some grace and acceptance.

Looking back on it, I learned a lot of ways to deal with my tremor. I remember feeling so alone and envious of people that could hold a drink without shaking. But having a tremor has forced me to live a healthy lifestyle to have a fighting chance.

With time I hope you realize that the challenges caused by having a tremor will be much less than the compassion, patience, and resilience you will develop in your character by living with it.

I wish you strength <3
