I spoke with a friend yesterday who has the tremors much worse than me. She has to use a straw to drink coffee and was ready to give up eating at restaurants because of the embarassment she suffers when she sends her forkful of food flying. Her sister in law out east found some special weighted silverware. It works wonderfully, so I'm going to give it a try if I can find a source. lol, Nancia. It's great you can find humor with this, I try to do that as well. People don't realize that when they draw attention to your tremors, it makes it worse. I have finally gotten that through my hubby's head, he used to make comments to the clerks about it whenever I had to write a check or sign something. He seldom does that anymore. A few months ago, hubby had to have stitches. He noticed the doctors hand shaking and asked him if he had ET and how much did it bother him. The doctor replied, "Yes, I have ET and now that you've pointed it out you've made the tremor worse." HaHa, loved the response.
