Dystonia, Head Tremors, and Depression
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2016
- About six months ago my head started shaking. At the time, it was so mild, no one could notice it. It was just a light shaking sensation. But it has progressively become worse. I am in a constant state of shaking my head "no". This past week I was diagnosed with "cervical dystonic tremors", also refered to as dystonia. Which, as Dystonia.org puts it, dystonia is " a neurological disorder where incorrect messages from the brain cause muscles to be over-active resulting abnormal postures or unwanted movement."
Aside from that, I have battled depression my entire life. Id really, honestly love to know if anyone else out there is expereincing this too. I know I can't possibly be alone in these symtpms. And if you do expereince depression, dystonia, or temors, what have you found that works??

Thanks for sharing publicly your story. I am sorry that you are so young. You are not alone. I have the same issues. But I am 50 years old. I found that the amplitude of tremor mainly depends from sleep , rest and stress. (I also have orthostatic tachycardia syndrome all my life. Diagnosed before dystonia+ head tremor). I wish you the best. I am teacher in school. My work helps me to resist and not become unsociable because of this. . the students, colleagues etc are accepting me as I am. So I am lucky for this .
I apologize for my extremely late response. I am so sorry you are going through this. Have you found anything that makes it better, aside from sleep?
Thanks for the vid. I have tremors also. You’re beautiful and smart, so who cares what others think! God bless 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Lots of respect for your brave decision to come up on this platform and help people out..👍👍👍
Thank you so much!! :)
as far as I can remember, it was 10 years ago. every time my head shakes, i'd just hold my breath until it stops. always ignored this and my head shakes the way yours do. thank you for sharing your experience
brian im thank you so much for commenting! I am so sorry you are experiencing this. Have you found anything that helps, or that makes it worse?
I just watched your video and I have to say that I am in the process of researching this. I have been going through some of this for sometime now and I just said to myself that it will pass. It hasn't and I also get individuals looking at me like like I am nervous, but I feel the head tremors. I thank your for taking the time out and speaking about this as more people can be aware of this. I had experienced depression for most of my childhood up until I was 18. but after that I have not. I want to get this checked out and see what can be done.
Thank you for commenting. It's very encouraging to me
my head is shaking everytime somebody's looking at me,i dunno why, but it really is disturbing.i want to get rid of it but dunno how
I have compiled a playlist of Dystonia videos here:
th-cam.com/play/PLUyFkmdDIsozFMFaRXVmwqOUlDVlh7Rxh.html
Same. When im on my own, im fine but soon as someone starts talking to me and making eye contact my head shakes side to side its so embarrassing
You get tense
@@romashears5204 same here..did you take antidepressants?
@@vishal9030 I took sertraline didn't work so about to start citalopram
Hi! I just found your channel here on youtube. You are like the female Version of myself. I have all the symptoms you have too. Its like watching into a mirror. Best wishes to you from Germany. You are a great Person!
susi issger thank you so much for your comment! I hope my videos are encouraging. I've done these exercises, and benefited so much that today I hardly shake,.
Definitely! I already bought a Thera-Band today. :)
susi issger keep us updated with your progress! 🙂
Thanks for sharing your video I’ve been dealing with tremors all my life your video helped....
Raymond Rodgers thank you so much for commenting! It helps me to know that this has helped others
I've also been diagnosed with cervical dystonic tremors. My head shakes in the same motion as yours, but maybe a little more severe. I'm 41. I first noticed the tremor at age 19. My mother has the same issue. She has never been diagnosed. It gets progressively worse with age, and my head shakes worse than my mother's did when she was my age. I decided to look for answers in 2017, at the age of 40. I'm so tired of the embarrassment. I don't get out much because of it. I feel like people stare and judge. I'm very self-conscious. November 2017, I received my diagnosis. I naturally have low blood pressure, so most of the meds prescribed to treat my symptoms are off limits. I've been getting the botox every 3 months - but it wears off after 6 weeks, and then the tremor is full force. I take primidone at night, which helps a little for the next day. I've tried a CBD vape pen, that calmed my tremor a little, but took my energy. I sleep full and well. I eat smart. I exercise regularly. My tremor just won't stop. I cry about it a lot. Years ago I was diagnosed with bi-polar 1 & 2, borderline personality disorder, major depressive disorder, and anxiety. I do see a connection with my emotions and tremor. When I'm going through emotional turmoil, my tremor owns my head. I'm a severely emotional person, so I'm basically screwed. I take 450mg 3x's daily of a mood stabilizer for my bi-polar, and that also contributes to my tremor. My neurologist is awesome and takes his time to listen. My next appointment, we will be setting up an appointment for DBS. Under the knife might seem extreme for some - but I'm willing to try anything to calm this embarrassing tremor. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Sorry to hear that Tabatha, that's a very hard life :( You might see some improvements with some Neuroptimal neurofeeback training. Look for a trainer in your city. It might take a few good sesssions, but it might help the anxiety and tremors.
I'm so happy I found your videos. Was googling Dystonia at 4am (should be sleeping) and watched one of your latest vlogs then started back at the beginning. I've been recently diagnosed too with cervical dystonia and kept thinking I had a pinched nerve or was stress related or something that would go away...but was getting worse so went to the doctor who referred me to a neurologist. Pretty much the same as yours but not constant at this stage. He gave me a prescription for medication the second time I went back but not keen on that option so was googling for natural remedies and found you 🤗. Thank you so much for vlogging I will watch all your videos...I too have autoimmune issues (Coeliac, arthritis and sjogrens) all manageable but this head shaking was getting me a bit worried ...the joy of life. 😊
Thank you for being brave and sharing your story! It is scary, but I do believe that different treatments can help SO much. My shaking is still present, but very very rare at this point. It starts back up randomly, (when I am stressed, when I have strained a muscle, when I have too much caffeine). But when it gets too bad I go to therapy again
@@LifeWithUs gosh I'm thanking you! So pleased we have a wee community of us to share. I've been doing deep tissue massage to help. Seems when I'm on holiday it is much better which aligns with the stress side. I'm going to increase my magnesium and also thought I'd try chamomile tea to see if that helps. Will let you know if I find anything too 😊
We love you . Thanks for sharing your experience. I do believe if you can train your brain to let go it could help .I’ve had head tremors and was triggered by anxiety. I knew what my trigger was and gave thought to my anxiety. I promised myself that I would not fear or feel inferior to anyone or anything. I’ll embrace my life and death and trained myself to the best of my ability to overcome that . I still have things to overcome and I know there is a spectrum to ailments ( and everything else) , but tackle one thing at a time and be aware of what you give your attention ( give a f()$& to) to. Best of luck. Im rooting for you. And most of all try to relax . If someone brings you a problem tell them that’s terrible and offer them a piece of pie.
Thank you for sharing this with us, I have head tremors very similar to you but was sent for an MRI scan and it came back normal.But the tremors continue and after seeing your posts I began to get really worried that I had dystonia too.A friend recommended new vision therapy, I spoke to the guy on the phone and he said since the scan has come back clear he thinks it is ablockage of a blood vessel to the brain and he knew all my symptom's I was amazed. He is going to try and unblock this blockage for me , I think with massage and healings I will let you know how I get on Take care x
That sounds kind of scary. Please keep us updated. We will be praying for your success 💕
I appreciate you to record the videos with head shaking disease. You know, Sometimes there is no head shaking with you.
I too face the head shaking but not always. I believe it's because of anxiety and depression. Hope you will cure soon.
I completely agree! When my depression is out of my control my tremors are much worse. Its the same with anxiety. Good observation!
Thank You so much. I have been diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia and Dystonic Tremor. I have had this for several yrs, finally went to a Dr. and had MRI no tumor. I was so glad to hear that. They say I also have Essential Tremor in my hands. Yes I have depressing moments, don't go out except if I need to and love to walk my dog. I couldn't take my head shaking anymore, was so hard to read. Drove me nuts. So my Dr. sent me to another and I am now receiving Botox treatments. They go in the back of my head and neck. She started with a low dosage the first time. I felt so good. 4 months or 3 can't remember, went with same dosage cus I did have trouble swallowing, so that's why she went with the same dosage again, did not work at all. So on my follow up appmt, she said she will increase it, just had it done last week and it helped. I'm going to do it again in May I think, I will have to look it up. But I am so glad I found You and listened to You. You looked good to. Someone said to me one day I looked stupid walking around with my head tilted, but that was my way of keeping my head from shaking. Yes Botox has helped me. But thank You Sweetie. I know I'm not alone. God Bless💕
Susan Whiteman how scary that you had trouble swallowing! 😢 and I am so sorry that someone said that to you, how cruel. I hope that the next botox helps, without causing any scary side effects
I distract myself with music when I feel sad/depressed/alone/lonely. I'm always having to wear headphones.
I have found music to be so cathartic in that sense. Although, I can lose myself to emotions if I choose the wrong music. I think certain songs arent safe for me to listen to, sometimes. In the sense that, if Im struggling with depression- you know, teetering on the line between "ok" and "not ok", certain songs pull me down. I probably sound like a lunatic. But my point is that you really need to know yourself, know when your low and counteract it with the things you know that work, avoid the things that sink you.
I know this is an old video, but I’m glad I stumbled upon this because I think this is what’s going on with me. I’ve had tremors for almost a year now, starting with my left hand only. Now it’s both hands and at all times everyday, except when at rest. I get these tremors in my legs sometimes, my eyelids, but I’ve also noticed I have a tremor in my head, a very mild one, but it’s there. Essential tremor was my first diagnosis but my neurologist said no to that and is currently suspecting Wilson’s disease. I also have never felt like I’ve been truly happy. The depression has always been bad. I am an isolator.
I am so sorry you are going through this. But thank you for being brave enough to share your story! There are many incredible Dystonia support groups on Facebook that I recommend. It really helps to have someone to talk to that understands the struggle
Your video just touched me entirely...The tremors, manic depression, anxiety, and ptsd do NOT mix...My mom has REALLY bad tremors, as do a couple other of my siblings...in some theyre less, in others more...NOW, as I age (31 soon) I notice its getting worse...some days are much better than others, but my head, hands, and sometimes body shake...especially when anxious...Right now im in the process of trying to figure out what triggers/helps ease them...Im also planning to talk to my doctor about it as well, bc neurological problems run through my family (both sides)...At the moment im tackling a few other medical issues, which has me frazzled...I will say it's tough...ive broken down several times about it in the recent months, but I dont want to think that this is or has to be my fate...I feel you so much! Thank you for this video...I know it was posted years ago...So if you dont mind my asking...How are you these days? Has it bettered or (hopefully not) worsened? How have you coped?
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Through physical therapy, stretching, and acupressure I was able to manage my tremors to the point where they stopped completely. But they do come back. To my understanding this is a lifelong experience. But there are sooo many treatment options available! So if you haven't found a treatment yet, keep trying new things; acupuncture, acupressure, botox, DBS, physical therapy, etc
@@LifeWithUs Thank you so much for sharing this information! It's very helpful 💓
Good things come to those who believe and are willing to learn from others may you be blessed everyday every way a healing is taken place now
Im glad you came out with this ive been sent to ms doctor for the tremor in my head ...it started out ever now and then now i get it alot during the day im soon to be seen by a general neurologist but he tremor looks like your but alittle milder
Omg yes the mri and the min you get in you have the feeling of an itch or a need to stretch lol
I have dystonia too.. and depression.. We're in the same boat to Japan.. trying to a some humor haha.. I have joined a couple of Facebook support groups that really help.
We have been trying to make September Dystonia Awareness month for the last couple of years. It sounds like you're already getting the word out!
I'm finding that TH-cam is actually an amazing outlet to express my frustrations. Have you found that TH-cam helps you at all?
How are you doing Mark? :)
I'm 21 (the tremors started when I was 20) and I've been diagnosed with dystonia. I have tremors in my neck and jaw, and also I'm struggling with depression and anxiety and just feeling very tired in general, often (I had to quit acting school because it got so bad). For me I've been going to an amazing neuro chiropractor who helps me reduce the tremor with specific eye movement exercises. I've also tried acupuncture and it helped with the tremors for a little while and a lot with the anxiety and feeling less tense. I really hope they'll find a cure for this because it's really not a fun thing having to live with. Sending you lots of good thoughts from Norway!!
Elise Enersen I would love to hear more about your eye exercises! I had a friend who said they also did eye exercises to fix their dystonia. The body is fascinating! Thank you so much for commenting!!
Life With Us hi again! If you have any questions just contact me! :) my email is elise.enersen@live.no 😊😊
Dhooley Farah I've been dealing with anxiety for years without the tremor, and I still have it, but with the exercises I've been given I'm able to control my head shakes much more with or without anxiety. Do you have a common neurological problem since you obviously know a lot about this?
I feel exactly what you talked about not being able to be happy. It sucks and I've stopped going to trips with my friends because of this. Takes so much energy to put the act on so I'd rather stay home and distract myself with Netflix and gaming.
You play Minecraft?
Pain cannot rule us in life we are strong in mind body spirit
I find that wearing a soft cervical collar for your neck helps!! It looks silly but do what we gotta do!
Yesssssss . ......I have the same kind of depression.....it's not unusual..... Im always feeling like I can not be super happy.... where I need to feel happy. It is scary to get tremors ,even mild ones....or muscle contractions that I can not control. Twitches etc....you get use to it... no one looks at you funny ,don't worry about what people think...
Thank you so much for commenting!
Welcome to the club. You are not alone.
Thank you! I think our club needs cookies, or something positive to offset the negative aspect 🤣
😂😂😂😂me to brother
If you don't mind not mind please add me to your club👏 😀
Head shakes and hands as well. My mind is always on the shaking and can’t control my thinking. Life is miserable
I am so sorry you are going through this. Did all of the tremors start at the same time?
it got worse after I started exercising and taking meds. Doctor said it’s my anxiety but he doesn’t understand. I want to talk to a neurologist or someone that understands. My mind is always on this so I can’t concentrate esp since I shake.
Where are you at now with it? Head still shaking? I'm 24 and now have it as well and just like you it's all I can think about. It's totally changed my life and it sucks.
Wesleys Theory hey Wesley, any update for you? I’m about the same age as you and mine started last week, I believe the chronic stress this virus has caused me is the reason why I now experience this. It feels like it’s at the top of my neck and head, and it’s also all I think about. Did yours get better?
Matt D mine is lifelong because it’s not going away, I take anxiety and nerve pills. I’m waiting for an MRI, eating healthy works a little
I have uncontrollable head nodding and shaking for a long time. I have had anxiety attacks well over a decade. I can relate. I got into a car accident two years ago while I was extremely dependent on alprazoram and lorazepam. It was an eye opener to detox. But after that accident while therapy and detoxing from those meds I started have head shakes when I try to sleep. It’s been hard. Sometimes when I get tired as the day wears on the head shaken starts causing me to have tightness in my chest and I started hyperventilating mildly and become irritable easily and get angry. It gets to a point it affects my depression. I do feel like ending it all. I have had depression bouts. I haven’t gotten diagnosed but the last two years I’ve been working out and losing weight. Stress caffeine and lack of sleep do compound it. I took a sleep study recently and also I am starting to change dieting to where I stay away from fried/fast food and more home cooked meals. I am starting to look at what makes me stay up/ stress me out/ why I make bad food choices. Hang in there we all have different struggles. Glad to find your channel
Thanks for talking about this. I'm 29 and have been diagnosed with cervical dystonia for about a year now. It's really uncomfortable sometimes, kind of like my neck is getting a work out and embarrassing to be in social situations, so anxiety and depression for me is a definite. I just wish I could reduce the shaking even if just a little bit. A neurologist offered Botox, but I'm not ready for that. The potential for paralysis scares me.
Kelly Dyer oh my goodness! I can completely relate! That's exactly what I was going through. I had the option to do the medication (which basically makes you too lethargic to shake), or botox (in my neck! ? ummm...no)
Thankfully I found a phenomenal physical therapist. Today I am shake free. It does come back, and when it does, I go see her again. I've been making videos on everything we do in our session. I've already had other TH-camrs say they've tried it and it worked for them too! I'm not a doctor, so I can't treat, diagnose, or cure (lol, that's my disclaimer) but it's definitely worth looking into. I'm here if you have any questions 😁
Life With Us I need to look into physical therapy! Have you tried dry needling? I've heard a few good responses from doing that.
Kelly Dyer I have heard of acupuncture helping. Is that the same as dry needling? Acupuncture was my next step after physical therapy, but therapy worked perfectly
Life With Us Dry needling is more for targeted neurological dysfunction, where acupuncture is meant to be used by Chinese medicine standards for overall wellness.
Kelly Dyer ooooooh! I've never heard of it. But I absolutely think it's time to try unconventional methods- I do not feel like medication or botox is a cure. I wish doctors would not be so quick to suggest botox every three months, and dismiss you as though you were cured. It's a flawed system 😟
I cannot imagine what you must be going through and reading the comments makes me feel less alone. I've gone to the GP a number of times and they haven't helped they seem unaware of what it is. I have tremors every so often I've just figured its caused by a great level of anxiety and stress otherwise I'm okay.
The funny part of it is when ever it occurs I try and talk myself out of it in hopes nobody will see
Thank you for commenting. It is so hard to be optimistic when you don't have answers. But the group that I have found on TH-cam in my video comments, is so incredible and supportive and encouraging. Like you said, sometimes just feeling less alone really helps.
Diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia 25 years.I have got this head neck tremor curse too ,it looks as my head is constantly shivering and shaking.Embarrasing in shops and pretty much all situations with people staring at me. Botox neck injections worked 20 years ago briefly for a weeks then it stopped working. Same too with Propanalol. I do Not know what to try now
Finally someone whose head shake like mine. I have had head shake even when I was young. How do you handle your head shakes, and do you feel embassert about it please let me know.
They do often embarrass me, but I have to remember that the stress of embarrassment will make the tremors worse. Also, trying to keep my head still activates muscles that initiate tremors. So only the more I relax does it start to get any better. Does that make any sense? Its hard to explain
Mine started when I was in my early 30’s. I have no idea what helps, only what makes it worse.
I can't believe u got any thumbs down..really?! I have generalized dystonia and bipolar disorder on top of it among a ton of other crap..the depression ur talking about sounds clinical like chemical imbalance..hope things get better for you..be glad u got an MRI..I've been asking for one for two years or more since diagnosis..💜
Crystal Hodges Haha I thought the same thing! I have thumbs down on all my videos, and I wonder all the time, whyyyyy? Was it poor quality on the video? Bad content? They just don't like my face? 🤣
I'll never know
Life With Us Maybe just cause u are genuine and not a fake bitch lol
Life With Us im in a group on fb called nevergiveup Parkinson's and dystonia..I don't have Parkinson's that I know of..but this group is like a big family if ur not already in it..u should try..great support..just wonderful..i have made so many friends and we hold each other up..never give up ;-) u did great..I hate videoing myself in too shy haha xx
Crystal Hodges I was thinking maybe it was an accident. I try to not be negative, or say anything that could offend someone.
My kiddo gets my phone and watches TH-cam and sometimes she'll give videos a thumbs down. She is a toddler, so I know it's not on purpose 🤣
Crystal Hodges I'll join! And I understand being shy. When I first started filming I hated everything about my videos. But I realized it was therapeutic to be able to talk about all the health issues and challenges. And it was so comforting to find others that are enduring the same challenges. Soon it became comfortable, and I could be myself. 🤣 I even posted a video when I was super sick and looked awful. But I felt like being completely transparent was helpful to others. Just for everyone to see that I have good days and bad days, and sometimes REALLY bad days. Being able to relate to someone is huge, I think.
I have head shaking too so I went to the doctor and he said u don't have anything when he didn't do any diagnosis. It pissed me of when im experiencing it.I also have essential tremor...so my hands shake alot.
Thats terrible! I think a lot of the time doctors are unfamiliar with dystonia, and if they don't know the answer, they feel like you must be just fine. Which is not the case. How frustrating! How are you feeling today?
First of all, you are really cute talking about problem you have:)
I'm 21 year old guy who is having similarly problem as yours. It all started when I was 16. As I remember, I came from a party and went to sleep but my head started to shake and it wasnt easy to fall asleep(can you answer me, is this how it started to you as well?). After that, problem started to appear at hairdressers. Since then my head is shaking when I'm having a haircut or when I'm having speech, generally when I'm nervous. Or when I'm drinking in public, that moment when a bottle is near my mouth.
Have you found a solution to this? Thank you.
klzTV thank you for commenting! My shaking started while sitting in a college lecture. I was trying to stay still and quiet. Then, as you mentioned, it was very noticeable during haircuts. I sometimes talk publicly, and then it really starts shaking.
I have seen doctor's, neurologists, movement disorder specialists, a chiropractor and a physical therapist. Out of everything, what helped me the most was seeing a physical therapist. She is amazing. She located the spasming muscle and applied pressure to it. She said she was "resetting the muscle". She held it firmly for about 10 minutes. When she stopped my shaking had instantly reduced by 80+%
I continued to see her on a schedule until the spasms stopped. Now they start every 3-6 months- which is my signal to make another appointment.
Great for you! You are really lucky for finding such a professional to locate and cure this stupid thing. So after all, its the physical problem, and not the result of anxiety or depression? It can be cured or decreased by exercises? I found couple videos on your channel about exersice, that helps? Thank you for answering.
by this treatment the shaking reduced instantly only or permanantly?
I watches your past vlogs and i was wondering how fast did it progress and will it continue to worsen?
I had my neurologist check yesterday and was diagnosed with essential tremor. I was hoping the neurologist would say that it's stress but the clinical diagnosis of essential tremor it was. I tried to ask if this could escalate by time but I felt she kinda avoided to answer. She said it doesn't have to. I felt she tried to downplay it, but when I started reading abut it I got depressed cause it said the condition increases the chances of getting Parkinson with 50% and that it starts gradually. Don't wanna look to negative on this but I'm down. I have the head shakes and sometimes my hands twitches. Sometimes my leg suddenly twitches too, but its mainly head tremors. I can feel it tremble when I lay my hand on my neck, there's activity going on in there. Alcohole reduces the tremors, same with benzo's. Stress is like gasoline and increase the tremors.
ventende hi ventende, I’m curious what it was you read that said it increases the risk of getting Parkinson’s.. WebMD (among many others) state clearly that as of right now there is no clear evidence supporting this. I haven’t been diagnosed with this yet, mainly because I don’t want to pay the bill but I am sure this is what I’m experiencing, I’ll go soon enough to find out but try not to stress more as we know stress fuels it. I wish you the best with managing your symptoms and everything will be okay :). Stay safe during the virus, everything will be alright.
@@Matt-yw2oi Thanks for your reply. It's been 7 months since my initial post and things have changed. I never trusted that essential tremor diagnose because that neurologist never asked me about my medication history. I always felt that the assessment was too quick. Now that I have read up on benzo withdrawal symptoms I believe my tremors can be caused by that. I'm still tapering off Xanax after 23 years of weekly intake. I decided to get a second opinion with another neurologist that did NOT believe the first neurologist made the correct diagnose - actually I've had two assessment done by another neurologist now, the last one was just couple of weeks ago. He wants to bury the ET diagnose I was given. We talked about hypersensitive Gaba receptors and muscle reactions / tension in direct conjunction with mental stress and benzo withdrawal. He also ruled out any other common neurological disease. He's not 100% sure what causes my tremors but his theories was withdrawal, hypersensitivity, anxiety. Basically a very heightened fight or flight response mechanism.
I'm still not sure what to think of all this but I'm much more in line with the second opinion and there are some literature that supports his theory. My head and neck tremors are worse than ever but then again I'm further into my tapering plan now and I'm down to a very minimal dose of Xanax, so I should expect a ruff physical response to that. Next step is zero amount. It's hard.
Can head tremors and hand tremors being cured? I am really worry about them...
My story is very similar to yours, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Battle still going drs wtite you off, Its very frustrating, I have 3 sons and have been researching it alot if its hereditary. I now have to see a neurosurgeon. I was glad to see your blog my head tremors up n dwn. Opposite of yours. I was healthy 4 months ago, now I have lost myjob and heard I might lose my eye sight, looks like i have IIH too to much CSF that dr says needs to be idk drained, I hate that my boys see me weak some days,, my life has completely changed. I would love to chat more, as I am on this journey and feel very isolated. Questions like how did this happen what triggered it.. I have found out it is a gene. One parent has it. My father hands tremor, and my sisters hands tremor. I got the cervical kind I guess🤔 It can be painful, and tiresome.. If I do to much in a day, Im paying for the next. Im holistic so all these meds they keep trying to put me on, hasnt been making me happy either. I believe in CBD oil.. my facebook has alot of awarness on it and they have dystonia groups on fb that has been helping me too.. Pinterest has good reads on this disorder. Glad to meet you and love and light to my fellow head shaker😚 my sons always ask me questions and i. Always shaking my head yes, so he was like "mom r you agreeing with me" 😂 we have to make light, makes it easier to cope.
Namaste
Hello. Does your tremor decrease or dissapear sometimes? If yes, what is the reason of that? Does the diagnosis (cervical distonia) 100% correct in your case? Or maybe the doctors were diagnosed with something else? Thank you for answer! (Sorry for my French, I'm from Ukraine))
Amor, I was fortunate enough that physical therapy treated my tremor. I went to physical therapy appointments once every week for about 6 weeks, then alternated, for about 6 months. My tremors are still there. When the shaking gets really bad I have to do the pressure point on my neck again.
_______
Мені пощастило, що фізіотерапія вилікувала мій тремор. Я ходив на фізіотерапію раз на тиждень протягом приблизно 6 тижнів, потім чергував приблизно 6 місяців. Мої тремтіння все ще там. Коли тремтіння стає дуже сильным, мені доводиться знову робити точку тиску на шию.
@@LifeWithUs Thank you for answer. Happy new 2022 year!
Understood. I have a client (I'm a psychologist), who has a distonic tremor, that dissapear, when he distract. It seems, that the tremor is psychogenic in his case, because organic distonic tremor doesn't depend on attention. May I ask you, what physical treats have you done?
I am sorry you are suffering this way.
Have you tried any oral medications? I have neck jerking movements on occasion (not quite a tremor, yet...) and since I have started Clonazepam 0.5 mg/day they have reduced by about 95%... This is of course not a long term solution because benzos are destructive and addictive.
Has your doctor suggested any oral medication besides benzos? Such as propranolol?
BTW do not think you will have this forever. This is 2016 and modern medicine is a wonderful thing. Keep your head up, you will get through this eventually!
My doctor did recommend benzodiazepines, but for me that's not an option. I am going to post another video soon about the physical therapy sessions I have been doing. The physical therapist found my spasmodic muscle, and disengaged it by applying pressure for ten minutes. I kid you not, the shaking reduced about 90% for the rest of the day.
I still have my doubts about this being dystonia. I just can't seem to get any doctor's to agree.
Depression is what caused my head shaking
Has your depression gotten any better? What things have helped/made it worse?
Great videos helping alot god bless
My head shakes, but only occasionally, especially when i'm under stress. I dunno if that is head tremors or something else, I am confused. Whenever that happens to me I lose focus completely. Today I was massaging my neck and I felt a little bump in the right side of my neck, it doesn't feel the same way in the left side of my neck. I haven't visited any doctor yet, because I thought that that would go away.
Why cant you enjoy not being happy ? Dont worry what people. Be satisfied being not happy. Life has ups and downs. Being unhappy is perfectly normal behaviour.
You are absolutely right. I think it is just an aspect of depression :)
When you were in the MRI, did you feel your head shaking to the sound of the machine. How did it make you feel.
Nope. They immobilize your head before the MRI to make sure that get a clear image
Hello. I too have head tremors. They say it's "essential tremors" I'd like to meet the doctor that named it essential. I'd give them a piece of my mind lol.
It is super embarrassing for me especially meeting new people. Seems like the more you think about it, it just escalates.
I just subscribed to you because your head shake on this vid is like what I have now. Only a little worse focusing on something.
How did the doctor's come to the conclusion it was dystonia and not essential tremors?
To me it seems like it's the same. Now I'm thinking I could have dystonia and not essential tremors.
Hope to hear from you.
I also have dystonia with tremors. My kids do not have it. I'm 61 now and have tried all sorts of methods to soothe the symptoms. From Botox to meditation, pills, teas, and topicals.
Presently, I take propranolol for tremor.
I have found that relaxation techniques, including yoga, meditation and stretching to be most helpful. Stay away from caffeine and alcohol. The later aggregates symptoms.
I hope you have found what soothes you and motivates you to keep trying.
I have 26 years of experience with dystonia. Would love to chat to you about my whole experience. And am still going through it . It would take forever to write down everything on here. Is there another way I could get in contact with you
I just got my facebook up and running. Its,

I'm seeing the neurologist finally this upcoming Monday, I believe I've got dystonia. constant head shaking, my neck is absolutely killing me, neck feels distorted, bad depression and anxiety. I've had these symptoms for 9 years now. started at 18. I use to put it down to really bad anxiety/ panic attacks. does your head shaking ever get worse in social situations? All the best
First, thank you so much for commenting. Yes, my shaking is exacerbated by three things that I have noticed: caffeine, adrenaline, and stress. The depression and anxiety can be a byproduct of the dystonia, but it can also make it much worse. Stiffening up doesn't stop the shaking, but it makes each shake hurt worse.
I'm glad you are seeing a neurologist, they can help you develop your game plan. Please keep us posted, and I'll be praying for your success!
Life With Us : You are such a lovely person! Thank-you for the kind wishes! any tips for the shaking to be less in social situations? Thank-you, and god bless.
hi, i went to see my regular physician and she didn’t take my head shaking seriously. Which specialist do i need to see? I don’t shake constantly but from time to time , and people notice.
My doctor didn't either. After seeing multiple physicians, I was thankfully referred to a physical therapist. Not only did she take me seriously, she knew right away that I had cervical Dystonia. She also had a treatment plan that worked.
Oh my gosh.. you could be my twin with these problems. And the more anxiety or anger I feel the more my head shakes so I with draw even more. MRI.. the coffin. I panic but I try hard to not let any one know. Seriously we ARE a lot alike. My Mom had the head shake, my little sister is starting to get it. I’m with ya sister. It does get worse the more you stress!
I have the same symptoms since i was 3rd grade. Doesn’t happen that often only when im stress or i force my brain to hard to think. I never get diagnosis with this, I tried to go to doctor once but they said i was fine, but i know something wrong with my head because always shaking when im thinking to hard or depressed.
I have a similar feeling but it resonates with my chest and legs...have you found anything that helps ?
I'm feeling at this moment not wanting to go out , everything is an effort for me. I'm happy just being at home . I say that but I'm not happy being at home. I want to do things, this dystonia has stripped me of . Its madness how this stupid disease can turn your life around. I use to be the life and soul of the party and sometimes can still be. But it's all a show. Deep down im sad. But I will plod along and hopefully find away to get the shakes sorted. It's good to chat to people that have the same condition. Because they really understand what you are going through. Others can sympathise , but just have not got a clue or understanding . Keep strong everyone Im off to do a 5 mile run now . Not lol 😉
Shona Dodson I am so sorry. I can understand. Do you feel like you have depression, or that it's the dystonia? I have found that my mental health correlates to my physical health. When I'm going through depression my body aches, and the aches make me tense up, which triggers my spasms, which make me self conscious and affect my depression.
Life With Us I can almost cope with the pain but not the tremor I feel embarrassed with it. I use to sing raising money for poorly children . A lovely bunch of friends. I miss it because I feel terribly embarrassed. I could very well have depression I havnt been to the doctors about that. This is so not me. I want to do so much with my life and I feel people will get fed up with my saying Oh I can't make it. There is only so many times they will ask me to go out and keep being rejected would pee me off . I'm so frustrated not being able to do things I want to do. So you could be right in that I could be depressed . I literally hate myself at the moment . I don't know what to do anymore x
I might be able to offer you some advice based on some things but I think an oseopath can do better. Do you have good back molar support or front edge to edge?
I think I understand what you mean: do my back molars all touch? Yes. But I have a bit of an overbite- even after 2 years of braces lol
I would like to know what you are talking about.... Can missing one second to back tooth cause dystonia?
I would like to know what you mean. can missing a tooth cause distonia?
Yesterday it was my cousin's birthday and it had a party. I didn't want to go, but I ended up there after some "pressure" of my mom and sisters. I stayed there alone and almost nobody talked to me. My head is pulling to the right. I didn't have a mirror butI knew my head was in the wrong position. I had to support my head with my hands. The only thing someone said to me was: "Why your neck is strange?" . I told them about the disease but after that they went to another part of th table. Even people that I knew before ignored me. You know, they arrived and passes at my side and just igored me, like if my chair was empty. I became realy sad about this. I have ever helped those people when they needed and now they just ignore me. That's why I don't like to go to this places, because when I go away Ibecame kind of depressed because of this. People don't understand dystona and because of that they prefer to ignore me.
I am so sorry to hear this :( What you are going through is becoming a common thing, more and more people are being diagnosed with dystonia. I have found a small community of people that also experience dystonia. They are incredibly understanding, and very helpful. If you have Instagram, look up #dystonia. I have made many friends there too. It helps to talk to someone that is also suffering. I am so sorry you were ignored :(
Yes, many people are suffering from this I hope they find a cure
Rogério de Paula Aguilar me too
If you don't mind answering this, do you take any medication for the head tremor?
Rogério de Paula Aguilar I don't mind answering questions 😆 I do not take any medication
My head starting shaking a month ago, It's like I am saying no all the time. Does it ever go away?
ZAPTAPPER1 tremors come in all shapes and form it might simply be anxiety shakes
I am so so sorry for my late response! To answer your question, my shaking has stopped, but it will never fully go away. I get acupressure on my neck, which stops the muscle from spasming. I get this treatment done every 3-6 months, or whenever I notice my head shaking.
Dhooley Farah if I have tremors from lack of sleep and stress will it go away or at least reduce if I solve the cause
I've never met anyone else with dystonia. I was diagnosed with a mild form of dystonia when I was 13 and I'm a few months from 32. It's been nearly a decade since I've tried any treatments. It was mostly pills that had the unwanted side effect of drowsiness. I'd say I've been able to cope just fine, but then again my case is considered mild. The dystonia only seems to effect the right side of my body, mainly my right hand. It always wants to contort to the right, and I have tremors. I used to love to play the guitar but it seems to be getting more and more difficult to play. I don't seem to have the same flexibility or the dexterity that I used to have to move my wrist in a strumming fashion. Just thought I'd share
Andrew Ferreri Thank you for your comment. Musician's dystonia (focal hand dystonia) seems to be common here in Oregon. Everyone I saw asked if I played violin, (because you have to use a chin rest with the violin). Have you heard of Dr. Farias? He has come up with an amazing technique, coined the Farias Technique, that he uses to cure dystonia.
Life With Us I had not heard of him but I will check that out
I think I have it, I mean head tremor but not regular thing, I just was reading about it then I catch your video, so my head shaking like your but It is the(yes yes) mode not like you witch is (no no) mode, what I think I understand from my reading that this tremor may be genetic if it happened in childhood, but in adult or mid age is due to several things including anexity or tension so in your case I think it is due to depression , I would like to ask do you have antidepressant meds, and if you have it why would you feel depressed? . About MRI scan, I thing they do it because the reason behind this kind if tremor is some chemical imbalance in brain or slowdown of some chemical pathways in brain so they need to understand the real reason. Now I want to ask you about your tremor because I think I have it and I want to know more about it, does it develop with time, does it cause pain, can you mask it if it happened in public, do you have some ways to stop it? Forgive my weak English language and Thank you for doing this video and I hope that you live happy good life.
أحمد الزهراني bro agree with you can you tell us these ways yoi chose

I have experienced head and shoulder tremors on occasions. I almost daily have what I call head buzzing which is a sensation in my head of a vibrating brain. Very fast and constant When that gets really bad I start to have visually noticeable head tremors. It will also involve my shoulders of I try to hold my head still. The only things that I've found that have helped are benedryl sometimes helps and low dose Klonapin. Both are sedatives in a sense and calm the nerves. I've gotten an all clear from a neurologist twice that it's not Parkinson disease or MS. Or anything degenerative. So far all I've been told is that it must be caused by anxiety. Although anxiety can make it worse it will start up randomly whether I'm anxious or not. I'm gluten intolerant and it helps keep things at bay avoiding gluten. Sometimes caffeine will get it started. The other day I was doing easy yoga and out of nowhere I got super dizzy that turned into tremors. I'm researching FND. As that seems like a lead in the right direction. My tremors will change direction depending on how I direct my head. It can be saying yes or no. Sometimes my arm will tremor too. I'm still trying to find a diagnosis.
Thank you for being brave enough to share your story. Are you on any prescription medications? I have a similar symptom, which I also refer to as "brain zaps". The best way I can describe it as the same buzzing sensation you get when you put your tongue on a 9-volt battery. I continued researching this odd symptom and found a huge number of people ALSO experience this. It is a common symptom of antidepressants. Strange right?
Thank you for your kind words. Yes I have taken antidepressants. Paxil and then Prozac. I'm not on any currently. I've read about people and their brain zaps in my search. Tell me does your brain zap come suddenly then go away? My bussing starts and will last all day. It doesn't go away. It reminds me of when you hear cicadas singing however there is no sound is just that vibration feeling.
OK MEEEE TOOO! I’ve searched everywhere to see if anyone else experiences vibration and rumbling sensation and shaking of the brain almost. My head doesn’t move much, it’s all inside the head almost. It mostly happens at night or when I’m laying down.
@@luvfitall me too did you find a cure
@@bridarby2299 I found that mine was TOTALY stress and worry related. I was tensing up all day and holding my "shaking" and "tremor" like behavior thru my neck all day...and then at night its like my neck relaxed and it would make my head rumble. Its hard to explain but that was TOTALY the issue.
Long story short, I thought I had cancer and had to have a risky surgery and was SO scared to not and or to have it. Once I had it, it went away. THEN once I worried again post surgery complication, it came back.
All in all, TOTALLYL stress related
THANK YOU for sharing! I have been living with C.D. since birth (most likely) diagnosed about 3 years ago, depression and mental illness runs in my family and I've been diagnosed Bipolar with manic episodes about 8 years ago... I can totally agree and relate to what you're explaining and experiencing with Dystonia and depression. Dealing with the Dystonia with depression... almost feels like a total uphill loosing fight. You're..... we are not alone, you are helping so many of us realize that. This video is giving me hope and ideas! I will begin vlogging Cervical Dystonia videos and maybe my son with medicine resistant Epilepsy will join me in this journey of healing and informing.
I tremor, head and hands, work in a warehouse, large pieces, small pieces you name it, sucks when I'm dealing with small boxes going into slightly larger small lol spaces. Dystonia is our Apollo Creed, Ivan Drago... we will beat it!! Thank you again, you have sparked a fire in me!!
R.B. P. Thank you for such an encouraging comment! When you guys tell me about your lives, what you deal with, and how you cope- it encourages me too! I look forward to watching your vlogs, keep us posted 😁
I've been diagnosed with:
· Major Depression Disorder
· Generalized Anxiety
· Situational Depression with Depressive Episodes (PTSD)
. . . by the VA.
My Medications...
0700: Effexor, 150mg
1200: Wellbutrin, 150mg
1700: Effexor, 150mg
melatonin, 10mg
2100: Seroquel, 200mg
Trazadone, 150mg
Do you feel like their diagnosis is accurate? I ask because, in the brief time I've interacted with the VA I have found them to be unconcerned with the patient, slow to care, and quick to diagnose.
you're very brave and inspirational to post this. I got diagnosed with major depression and Generalised Anxiety Disorder last summer after a major breakdown. when my episode was really bad I shook all over, like I was having a seizure. then when I returned home from psychiatric hospital my body stopped shaking but just my head was violently shaking, a bit like yours. I hope you find a way to stop your head shaking as it's exhausting and frightening. Avoiding caffeine is tricky! And lastly, you're definitely NOT a jerk!!
Rachel Renata Maryjane Rebecca Abigail Arnold Thank you so much for commenting! Adrenaline definitely makes my spasms worse. But I agree, it is hard to cut caffeine. I need the energy, but hate the side effects
I haven't experienced much of my involuntary muscle contractions/shakes/tremors. now I have balance issues when I walk.
my anxiety greatly impacts my body to what end, Idk.
I'm living in a toxic environment. being on edge isn't my way of life.
John E Have you tried anything to combat the depression? I know exercise helps me when I get deep into depression.
I've had cervical dystonia for 12 years. I understand what you mean. I'm slowly recovering with the help off botox.
I have shaky leg symdromd but now my head is shaking when I leg shake makes me feel bad I stop my leg my head stops
I thought I was the only one with head shaking and people would always ask if I was okay. I thought I had Tourette’s for the longest time till I came across this video and found a diagnosis
Thank you so much for commenting. I am so sorry you are going through this. Initially my doctor had suggested that my issues were tourettes as well. But in reality the doctor I had at that time just simply didnt know what dystoina even was. Don't be afraid to be your own health advocate when it comes to doctors. They might be the expert in the health care field, but you are the expert on you. Please keep us updated. We are all rooting for you!
My head doesn’t shake but I feel like there is like small dots touching my head or something like bubbles
I am so sorry you are going through this. I cant quite understand what you mean. Is there pressure on your head?
Thank you so much for the video. My 12 year old daughter is been shaking for two months saying no no no and shakes at the same time, at first she was putting her hand on one ear while shaking . Now she shakes her head she can control it or stop. She just cries so much and she won’t tell me how she feels. What type of doctor or especialista should take her to for an evaluation? Neurologist or just reg pediatrician. Children’s hospital? Idk what to do this is all new to me. Plz help me:(
Thanks
I'm so sorry she is going through this 😭 12 is so young! What helped me the most was seeing a physical therapist. There are so many different treatments available, even non-invasive ones since she is so young. Accupressure by the physical therapist is what helps me manage my shaking. Please keep me updated with her progress 💕
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I’ll look for acupuncture physical therapy. I’ll keep you posted. God bless you!
I have this head shaking when im nervous, its very irritating and uncomfortable
Honestly I thought something was wrong with me. I think it’s my lack of sleep tbh. Plus my iron deficiency. I honestly thought something was wrong with me. I hope this is the case.
Hello i am 23 from last 2-3 i had notice that my head is shaking but not always in a week i get this shake of head 2-3 time
And really this is really weird please tell me how i will get rid of this.
Thank you so much for commenting. Does your neck pull to one side? Is one shoulder higher than the other?
I have the same thing. I hate having to explain it cause I see someone stairing at me. nothing has worked
Lisa dayie I'm so sorry 😟 it's one of the odd illnesses that plagues you on multiple levels: physically, mentally, emotionally, socially.
If you are comfortable sharing, what things have you tried so far?
i shake sometimes for no reason, i dont understand my body that well as my mind is way to out of touch to recognise signals from my body. now sometimes i just shake and legit have to sit in front of a heater to mentally tell myself im shaking because its cold (even if im hot) to stop it.
anyone else like this? plz help me out ppl??!!???!!!?!?!
Thank you so much for sharing, I know how hard it can be to open up. Is it your entire body that shakes, or your head?
@@LifeWithUs my head shakes sometimes especially when im nervous ( in front people .... Exams....) What is it and what should i do :( im 17 years old, thanks
Hallo. Ive never spoken to anyone about this, not even a docter. I done alot of seaching online to try and work it out and somehow get an idea about myself re symtoms etc.
I seem to have a yes yes tremor. Today i was in a coffee shop in my local town and when i try to drink from the cup my head starts nodding yes yes. In the end i got a straw and used it to drink my coffee. It looks like i have dt's like people get withdrawing from alcohol, i was aware people were looking and were probably thinking that. I dont have it all the time, only when reaching. My neck muscles and shoulders muscles are really tight and it hurts to turn my head either way.
I seem to get the odd shaking of my hands too. In parkinsons you get tremours at rest apparenly but i havent got that.
Anyway thats what i wanted to say.☺
Thank you so much for sharing. Have you searched "torticollis"? Dystonia is the culprit for the shaking, but the pulling is often a condition called torticollis. This community has been amazing in sharing their knowledge, what helps, what makes it worse. Thank you again for your comment!
@@LifeWithUs hallo.
Thanku for anwering ☺.
My head seems to only shake like a yes yes motion, but i have to be actively reaching ie drinking a drink etc. Ive had a look at that toticlcles thing.. its probably the closest symtoms ive found so far so thanks for that! It says the pain i have should go away in a few days... i hope so too. Its says its a type of distonia.. im new to all this and a bit worried tbh.
Hey i just watched your latest haircut video and i dont think i even saw a tremor. That haircut really suits u aswell. Thanku for listening ☺
@@LifeWithUs have a look at wry neck.
I have all the symptoms of this and I am now going to the doctors to get it checked tomorrow how serious can this be? I'm a bit scared tbh
First, don't panic
How are you doing? Any updates? :)
My head sometimes shakes also sometimes I cant turn my head its weird and I just dont want people to think of me in a bad way.
I can ABSOLUTELY understand that! I am always worried people will think I am on drugs or something. When my tremors where their worst I found it easiest to just say something before they did. "I have dystonia, thats why my head shakes".
Thank you so much for commenting!
Hi. I have this 10 years. How are you now?
I'm doing great! Shaking still happens, but very rarely. When the shaking returns I go back to physical therapy
I gave and now I have true problems and can’t enjoy either. People think I’m stuck up and I’m not. I’ve become really shy though
Shyness can really prevent enjoying life 😥
Thanks you are very beautiful in and outside .My dystonia has become worse a year ago .How can I contact you expect here? Susan
I am so sorry for my late response. My email is thislifewithus@gmail.com I am also on Instagram @thislifewithus
This is from 2 years ago and I have the same problem and especially when I go to the dentist or the barber shop for a hair cut and its embarrassing and the barber ask me if I had Parkinson's Disease so I been diagnosed with essential tremors and I was prescribed propranolol but i had this for over 10 years now.
Thank you so much for your comment! I will have to look up what "propranolol" is, I actually have never heard of that. Does it seem to be helping at all?
@@LifeWithUs The medication is used for high blood pressure and I use it while taking escitalopram(Lexapro) plus bupropion for depression/anxiety and it help but it can make you drowsy and ask your doctor if you can take this.
😥please tell me how we survive from this bloody fool depression 😠
How can I contact you? ? I live in Costa Rica. central america
My email is thislifewithus@gmail.com or my instagram is @thislifewithus
I usually develop this head shake while lying down. And I dont know what to do to stop it
That is interesting. Does it only happen while you are lying down?
@@LifeWithUs yeah. Only while I am lying down
I've never heard of that happening. What position is your neck in while you lie down?
i threw up so hard before from something i had eight .my head was shaking after but way worst then that
Woah. Has your head shaken since then?
nah lasted 5 minutes went away but was scared at the time no the less your a pretty lady so i don't notice the head shake
kookie smasher I'm glad it went away. That would be terrifying!
it was thank you
hi iam rochdanistan from srilanka.i am 22 , i have this problem over 4 years my head gets shake when i feel nervous.i face difficulties in speaking with people facing a presentation etc.can we reduce the range of it?is there any medicines for it?
Roch Danistan hello! Thank you so much for commenting. There are several treatments for symptoms like mine. You and your doctor should decide which would work best for you. But the things that I have heard work, are: chiropractor, acupressure, acupuncture, botox, benzodiazepines, physical therapy, and DBS surgery.
For me, I have found that physical therapy and acupressure keep my spasms away.
Life With Us thank you very much.I didn't consult doctor yet.I already have migrain problem are these two diseases are related?are any activities causing this tremor worst?
Those two symptoms could be related, or they may not be related. When I first went to the doctor they had me take an MRI to make sure the tremor wasnt caused by something serious, like a brain tumor. It is a good idea to rule out the more serious things.
When you open your jaw do you hear a pop, or click? I have heard a few people say that they have Migraines, and tremors, an they were diagnosed with something called TMJ. They used a TMJ mouthpiece and it helped their migraines and stopped their tremors.
The things that I have heard most people say makes their tremor worse are: fear, pain, cold, anxiety, stress, adrenaline (caffeine)
All of these things affect your muscles and heart rate.
Life With Us thank you very much .
I have the same problem and also my legs when I walk downstairs🤥
Have you been checked for toxic metals?It may be related to mercury or lead,might get checked-?Depression can be due to a b vitamin deficiency,might get that checked-?If those are in order,might it be due to PTSD form some sort of possibly childhood trauma your subconscious mind has blocked but the body still remembers.I am a 72 yr old lady only recently realizing that I have a head tremor also.I had no idea it was so pronounced!I am checking the avenues for myself I just presented to you.I wish you all the best!
Yes, I did have that test ran. Here are my results:
Arsenic, Blood
i have the same essential tremors i am 26 i was just diagnoised.
Thank you so much for sharing! Have you found anything that helps, or makes it worse?
Yea
medicine, no caffeine
Lisa dayie no caffeine!? 😲 I can't do that 😂
My head starts shaking uncontrollably when I make eye contact with people could that be a factor of Dystonia
I have found that stress and anxiety makes the tremors much worse. Do you have anxiety and/or panic attacks?
Life With Us yes I have both I’ll be starting medication soon , I’m just so desperate to find a solution it’s really embarrassing.
I have the same thing as described in this thread except I believe it's a panic attack. It's like little head shakes that build up from the tension in my neck. Sometimes it will be so intense my eyes shake a little as well. It all started after night of heavy drinking and being on the drug prozac. Not a good mix.
That's what happened to me during an MRI. Awful!
I use melatonin to sleep good and relax my back morning herb tea vitamix energy shake blueberries pineapple greens chia seeds whey protein
Do you have Instagram? I have the same problem too. I think it'll help if we meet someone with the same issues. It'll be interesting
I apologize for my extremely late reply!! Yes, my instagram is @thislifewithus

I am so sorry you are going through this. Are you saying "head" tremor or "hand" tremor?
