I have essential tremors that have been well controlled with medication. They have really been flaring this last week. They only change that comes to mind is that I have been out of my thyroid medicine for the last couple of weeks. Does anyone think this could be what's causing my flair?

      Yes, how are you doing?  I also have essential tremors in my left hand, arm and my head. I take propranolol (Inderal) which helps me.

    Sorry I didn't mean to leave people hanging.  Things settled back down and seem to be well controlled again as long as I don't miss any of my tremor meds (propanalol, primadone, & amantadine).  My grandkids have started noticing my tremor when eating and have asked about it a couple times. 

    I don't know if it was related to thyroid medicine or not.  I am suspecting that my thyroid levels are off though.  I have blood work next week so I'll find out then.  Thanks for your interest.
