18yr female. hand tremors since 11yrs. only one in family with it, but gam has parkinson's.worse w/ anxiety.want to be a surgeon.how to get rid of it?

There are options: Most tremors are fine or not worrisome. Some are worse under stress, lack of sleep, or during fine movements. Most essential tremors can be improved or resolved with low dose medications or by limiting caffeine etc. So I doubt that your tremor would prevent you from accomplishing your goals. That said ask your doctor to evaluate your tremor and give you a recommendation.
