Benign Essential Tremor help and advice with animations thrown in.

light bulb bulletDo your hands shake uncontrollably while lifting things? Does your head shake either from side to side or up and down? Does your head shake while performing everyday tasks? i.e. applying cosmetics, shaving, answering the telephone, working on the computer etc.?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions then you may have Benign Essential Tremor - an easily treated medical condition. Take a look at an excellent website with a lot of help and advice about this condition.

With these animations I am having fun at my own expense. Someone suggested that I should make some awareness ribbons and because this condition is sometimes referred to as ET these are my efforts. The blue ribbon is just shaky :0)

I suffer from Essential tremor and have found the website recommended above a great help.
At one time I became very depressed and thought that I would never be able to draw or create anything again.
Dot refused to let me feel sorry for myself and with a little medication things got better.
This condition can be controlled, things could be a lot worse you know.

Dot has told me that perhaps I have treated what can be a very embarrassing condition a little light heartedly with my animations. I'm sorry to say that Essential tremor will never change my rather strange sense of humour, take a look at some more of my animations and you will see what I mean.
