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!!!
