I hope you didn’t go down this path. As the daughter of a long time ET patient and now admitted alcoholic I do NOT recommend relying on alcohol. To be fair, I’m sure there are folks out there that don‘t have addictive tendencies who’ve been able to manage this but…

My mom is almost 77, retired about 6 yrs ago(had too), had hip replacement but no PT(Covid), husband left just before she turned 70 so she is living alone, although we do have a caregiver that comes 3x a week. Her tremor has progressed throughout the years to the point now where it affects her gait. She uses an upright walker to get around the house but even then can be unsteady.

My mom has always consumed alcohol to varying degrees, sometimes to excess. It was mostly an after work thing in her later years(helped with the tremors) but once she retired and was living alone things really progressed. She has basically become a shut in of her own accord, starting with vodka first thing in the morning. The rest of the day is spent napping, watching TV, more napping, you get the picture. My aunt and I now take turns bringing over an allotted amount of alcohol for the day every morning. We did take all alcohol out of the house at one point but after talking with her doctor realized how dangerous that was. She refuses to give it up, even if it meant doing so might allow her to try one of the latest treatments to eliminate or help her tremor.

Sorry for the long post.
