Essential Tremors Disease.
 

Wonder what else is going wrong. Guess I'll know when lab work from yesterday gets back. Having very little depth perception and this crap has put a stop to lots of projects. Slot headed screw, caps back on tubes. Just forget it.
Talking with Sis, by phone, other day. She has had it for years and said Mom had it.

• Genetic mutation. The inherited variety of essential tremor (familial tremor) is an autosomal dominant disorder. A defective gene from just one parent is needed to pass on the condition.
If you have a parent with a genetic mutation for essential tremor, you have a 50 percent chance of developing the disorder yourself.
• Age. Essential tremor is more common in people age 40 and older.

Ain't that nice.:rolleyes:

Ah man that sucks buster:(

I would have guessed eye problems were from welding, but somehow knowing why, and having someone to blame, doesn't help much.
And knowing it could be worse is no consolation, either. Just sucks. :(

Sorry, Buster. Is typing still going okay, or does the tremor interfere with that as well?

It makes my trackball mouse hell sometimes, like highlighting something.
@ xob The va, not welding screwed up my right eye.

The VA screwed up your right eye? In addition to the essential tremor thing?
Then I'm not letting you pick out any women for me, damnit, by the time I got to them you'd have brailled all over them. :headshake

Sorry man.

There are times when the VA, just pisses me off.

Politicians give lip service to fixing that mess, but that is all.

Bummer. Sorry BB.

Hang in there bb. :(

Can't help with the slot head screws, I hate those fuckers too. But you might find this interesting.



It's about a hundred bucks, which is a lot of money for a spoon.

For years I thought my tremors were caused by drinking. I remember a man I worked for, asking how could I weld shaking like that. I told him that to weld you had to move the rod around to remove impurities, I just hold as still as I can . No work.
@BV I've been eating with a spoon for years, less clean up.

After searching various spellings of a drug name my Dr. scratched down, I came up with Topamax.
If that's correct, no way. Link is to FDA .pdf.

If this becomes a problem, I know someone who just had laser treatment for it a couple weeks ago. It seemed to be successful.
