I'm not sure but I think it started before the Risperdal. I remember shaking in my laboratory classes. It really annoyed me.

Now I wonder if it's the Celexa...but I remember shaking even while not on Celexa. I used to think it was because I was nervous, but now I don't think that is the case. Being nervous does make it worse though.
> My mother has familial tremor. Almost exactly half of the siblings has it, which would be expected since it's dominant.
I read about essential tremor being a dominant trait. I don't think it runs in my family. Am I just the first one to get it? Just my luck?
Is it problematic the people in your family who have it? I've read that it tends to get worse over time.
>My grandma had it too, I think. My two uncles got it when they were quite young, but it wasn't a problem for my mother until well in her fifties. I guess I've got a fifty percent chance.
I've read that there are two peaks of when people get it. One is in the twenties and the other is in the fifties.
Maybe either my Mom or Dad has it but just haven't developed symptoms yet?
> I think any new physical thing should be reported to your doctor. If you need to, write it down right now and put it in your purse or tie a string around your finger at your next appointment.I'll do that Dinah. I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow.
My family doctor is going into retirement soon. Not sure what to do. How in the world do I find a new doctor?
