this is very frusting I cant work due to my Tremors and i cant drive due to them too, and i cant get on SSD or SSI due the fact that my Nroagist ( brain dr) "i knwo i cant spell" and my GP are fighting over what i have. My GP says i have ET but my brain dr says its just stress, but what is odd he gave me a med that they give ppl with ET primidone. I have seen some inprovement with takeing it i dont have them everyday / every other day and the bad ones are not has bad has they used to be. but still i am stuck at home cant work cant drive. my mom fusses at me about money cus she is going back to school full time now and has retiered form her job. so now we will be mor eor less lil income I have no med care and the med. bills are con to pile and i cant get on SSD or SSI. argh.

Maybe you can see another Neurologist to get a better idea of what you have.
The GP giving you medicine which is also a common drug (anticonvulsant) to help with ET is good, especially if its helping you. See another Doc and get a proper evaluation of everything, they should rule out other disorders before making assumptions, even such diagnosis. I think its hard for many to get on the pension, I am on it and it wasn't my choice. Goodluck - Gaylene :) (Tasmania - Australia)
