I have had essentioal tremors for about 20 years and the last 2-3 years have gotten worse. I am at the max on medication (primodine, propanaol) and the tremors still continue. What would you suggest be my next step? This has really taken a toll on my daily living. Thank you, Sue
Essential tremors have limited management strategy in the form of medical treatment. You are on both propranolol and pyrimidine. If you are still disabled then probably you should consult a movement disorder specialist and think about going for the surgery with the options of thalamotomy and Deep Brain stimulation. Both the procedures have high success rates and a movement disorder specialist might explain more about them. Please do not lose hope. You can get better.
