I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I have had ET since I was a child and it has always affected my life, mostly with people asking me why I'm so nervous. When I went to nursing school, I realized I would have to go on medication. I was unable to use inderal, because it was making my asthma worse, so I went on mysoline. I'm now up to 250 mg BID. I have become use to it and don't experience any side effects, but my tremor continues, especially when I'm rushing around (like we nurses do a lot) or when my body is stressed out (like I haven't eaten or slept well). I feel very sensitive to people's comments. My tremor is very fine now, but people will still notice. I have developed a system where I do most of my tasks that require fine motor skills with one hand (like drawing blood or starting IVs) but I am still really effected by this condition. Has anyone noticed problems with focus or memory with this condition?
