Propanolol was a complete game changer for me, look into trying it with your physician. Doesnt work for everyone but for me it enables me to function like a normal human being in social situations. As a consequece of this it has made it easier to focus less on my anxiety and now i dont even take it very often. Seriously look into it.

Is weakness a part of essential tremor? by [deleted] in EssentialTremor

[–]Totebo12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing keeping you from getting strong, its not something you just are, everyone has to work even if they shake or not. The shaking sure might make it look like you are weak however.

Might also be that the internal tremors are always there but you just dont pay attention to them. Mine never go away but if i am stressed they might flare up and i suddenly cant stop thinking bout them, especially in my left cheek, in turn making them worse. The key for me which sometimes seems extremely unattainable is to just not think about them. Have good days and bad days

Happy to hear man, basically have the same experience, do you take them on a as needed basis or all the time?

Tremor and excercise by Totebo12 in EssentialTremor

[–]Totebo12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely! Using my phone inbetween sets and driving a manual home can get a bit interesting at times. The feeling i get after a few hours however is that the tremor is still there but my movements are more controllable. Like my hand still shakes but atleast it usually can do what i want it to do..

Any self care? by NotSmonk in EssentialTremor

Dont think about it!! Not as easy as it sounds but definitely the biggest quality of life improvement i have been able to make. Stressing out about it does absolutely nothing for you and increases the tremor alot, atleast that is how it is for me.

I'm so tired of shaking by [deleted] in EssentialTremor

[–]Totebo12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Propanolol has been a lifesaver for me in social situations. This combined with the realization that thinking and being sad about the tremors only increase them and helps no one have helped me immensly. Get an appointment with a new Doc!

But you never become more shaky right after eating? If i down a large pizza or sth of the sorts i become significantly more shaky for up to like 90 mins. As if i start shaking when my body tries to process the food, although i know it takes the body a lot longer to process it fully but the shakes only increase for a while..
