[epilepsy] Re: benign essential tremor

 

Hi Millie,

As Elvis said, "I'm all shook up"! I'm shaking all the time. Even at night when lying in bed can feel shaking within my chest, to my arms as though its shaking within me. It doesn't hurt in any way. The web site I place in the group explains it so much. People can see my arms shake, but now way would they realize anything more. Hey, it was good news hearing about this. Rather than believing I was shaking because of auras and what would have been seizures if not for surgery (smile)! Where this will go in the years to comes, who knows! There really isn't much I can do about this unless it really gets bad down the road. Take care Millie, keep a smile on your face!

Steve

I told him I was shaking allot assuming my shaking where auras which can be felt anytime after having a left temporal lobectomy. Feeling just a aura can be felt but a seizure can't if you remain seizure free. He asked me if I felt any odd feelings in my head during this time like I used to, I said no. He saw my hands shaking allot, during the office visit he told me to look up "benign essential tremor" from the "Mayo Clinic". That is what I have to click on below. Most definitly I have it. I found it very interesting so thought you might be interested in looking at it.
