I thought something whimsical for a break may lighten the mood. If your lucky enough to have tremor

The mood for the day. .If your lucky enough to have essential tremor as one of your pred side effects, how does your signature look lately? .Mine is down to a scrawl now. .When I try to slowly make something decent, the whole character changes. .If I got involved in an important financial deal and they compared my Sig with a couple years ago, I might find myself in the Old Nick.

    Hi Paul

    Mine varies from day to day.  Some days its pretty normal, others it is unrecognisable and I would probably end up in a neighbouring cell !

    I too have an 'intention tremor' but mostly in the right hand which does make my sig, unreadable. Just another side effect of our enemy/friend Prednisolone. It makes for suspicious looks from barkeepers when I have to use both hands to hold a pint!

    Can't work as a brain surgeon, then I never did!

    All the best.

    My husband has essential tremor - not due to pred though - and his GP told him to try having a drink! Generally seems to work though occasionally that first sip takes a while...

      Maybe why mine has improved?  Still enjoy a small glass of red wine during the evening meal.  Also helps me to nod off when I sit down afterwards and watch the TV!!

      Wouldn't have thought anyone would need anything to nod off in front of the TV at present...
