Why is she shaking?
Ten million people in the United States shake due to essential tremor, sometimes called familial tremor. It is a syndrome with no lasting cure to date. It knows no limits of age or parts of the body affected. Side effects are depression, embarrassment, and uncontrollable shaking. Essential tremor is often confused with Parkinson's disease, but they are different.
This book is informative and provides individual insights into how those with ET deal with the tremors on the job and in their personal lives. Unfortunately, too few people know about and understand how to help or relate with those dealing with ET. There are procedures, surgeries, and aids which work for some, but not all.
You will learn:

• What essential tremor is
• Who has it and how it affects their lives
• What are the symptoms and side effects
• The latest procedures and techniques to alleviate the tremors

It is different from her other books because it is personal and informative. She addresses a syndrome that many have and yet little is known about it. In reading her book I grew in my appreciation of people who suffer with Essential Tremor (ET) and was touched by the integrity of those sharing their stories. This is a great book for people to learn about ET and for those who suffer from it to find hope in the stories of others. I would encourage people not only to read this but to have it available to offer to others. Well done, Doris!" -- Rev.
