List of essential tremor doctors in USA

 The link above will take you to the Lifescript website.  This website has gathered many doctor names through out the USA who either treat or diagnose those with Essential Tremors.   I am not sure how accurate it is or how often it is updated, but it would be a great place to start if you are searching for a neurologist.   If you are in Ohio, I started at the Ohio State Medical Center, Department of Neurology.   After my initial visit there, they moved my visits to a branch in Gahanna.  However, my favorite doctor there recently moved up to the Willard Hospital practicing the same thing there, so that hospital has a very good doctor now too.

The day after I forgot to take my medicine....

Yesterday was a very interesting day.   The night before, it was late and I forgot to take my Primidone.   So yesterday I went without, more so to see what would happen.   It made for an interesting day.   I had a doctors appointment at 11:45 and he mentioned that it seemed that my tremors were worse and wondered if I needed to go visit my neurologist.   So I told him about how I forgot to take the medicine the night before.   He understood and went on with my check-up.   However, through the day, I could definitely feel the difference through out my body.   I felt jittery all over and my head shook pretty bad.   Needless to say, I was glad when it was time to go to bed and get the medicine in my system again.   Fun little side effect this morning.....extra sleepy!!!

Tremors at church during communion

Well....it happened again.   Luckily my son was there to help.  I tried to pick up a cup from the communion tray and before I even touched it, the tremors kicked in.   I had taken my meds about 30 before church started, but it didn't seem to matter.  My hands were going to splash it around.  So my son gave me his little cup and he took another one out for himself.  If this keeps up, I'll have to talk to the doc about it.
