Just then something new pops up. I have made some progress in my war. Build a Cala Trio clone to treat my hand tremors and currently about half way through development of a plug-n-play mouse tremor filter. Try weighted table utensils but don't expect too much.

all the best

Good blog post. 77M tremor from mid-40's. ET stopped me painting back in 2021 which caused me to somewhat stupidly declare war in ET. After considerable research one thinks that one know the enemy.

It looks to me like Essential Tremor

It common in Essential Tremor for one forearm to have larger tremors than the other. It is also common for the two forearm tremors to be out of sync and clasping the hands together will usually minimize the combined tremor.

Orthostatic tremor occurs on standing and dissipates when the patient walks or sits down. Upon standing, the tremor increases in a crescendo fashion over seconds to minutes until the patient must either sit or walk. OT is characterized by a very high tremor frequency 14-16 Hz in the calves.

You need to see a neurologists or a Movement Disorder Specialist first who assess your tremor a suggest possible treatments.

It's actually the ethanol in the wine that attenuates the tremor. Beer or other alcoholic drinks will also work but one is enough. Additional alcohol is not beneficial.

ET patients have action tremors at the frequency range of 4–12 Hz. Within individual patients, tremor frequency remains highly stable over extended periods, while tremor amplitude can fluctuate significantly over short intervals. jbiomedsci.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Rest tremor is a tremor that occurs when a body part is relaxed and supported. i.e. when voluntary muscle activity is absent. Read tremor is commonly associated with Parkinson’s but between 15% and 18% of Essential Tremor patients may have rest tremor.

A classic description of the disease (Essential Tremor) was presented in 1925 by the Russian neurologist Lazar Salomonowicz Minor, after which ET is often also called β€˜Minor’s disease’

Benign is an obsolete term no longer used to describe Essential Tremor.

In 1817, James Parkinson was the first to point out that Essential Tremor was a disorder separate from Parkinson’s disease (PD), but his report was not published until 1887.

Electrical Neurostimulation of the Median and Radial nerve in the wrist can temporarily reduce the amplitude of Essential Tremors of the hand/forearm.

I used to paint Impressionist/Abstract Landscapes. I started an online drawing course. I couldn’t finish the first β…“ of the first lesson due to my Essential Tremors. So I decided to do something about my shaky hands.

Action tremor (Kinetic tremor) occurs with the voluntary movement of a muscle. Commonly associated with Essential Tremor, perhaps 90% of Parkinson’s patients develop action tremor.

That was the original MRP. I understand that now Cala Health has it on offer for about $2000 + $100/month.

My start in researching Essential Tremor was because of an online drawing course that my forearm tremors stopped me from completing. This made me mad and of course my tremors got worse. Strong emotions escabate ET.
