A member asked:
Is essential tremors curable? is it genetic or caused by some injury later in life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately no: Essential tremors differ from parkinsons in that they often worsen with action & can be heriditary.Different drugs including beta blockers & anticonvulsants have been tried but results are variable & not very encouraging.
