Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Essential Tremor is primarily genetic.
Essential tremor can start at any time in life.
Most essential tremor gradually and slowly become more noticeable.
The tremor tends to affect the hands and arms and can affect one side more than the other.
YOU CAN DO THE FOLLOWING:-
. Write in small letters — it’s easier than writing in large letters. Rest your forearm on a table while writing.
• Hold the pen between your index and middle finger.
• Place writing paper on a soft surface such as a newspaper to help control shaking hand movements.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
Warm Regards
