Hi Jan –
Good question. I’ll have to look into the date of the latest stat update.
I know that I seem to be hearing of more and more YOPD diagnoses happening.
I always wonder if there really are more young people being diagnosed or if, now that I have a diagnosis, I’m just more “aware” of it?
Thank you for reaching out! I love hearing from my readers!
-Nikki

Carla –
I’m so sorry to know that you can truly relate to my story.
I hope that you have found something that helps you function easier when the tremors are not cooperating.
Thank you for taking the time to read and reach out.
Take care and stay safe.
-Nikki

Tami –
Thank you for taking the time to read and reach out.
I will be thinking of you. I know that Essential Tremor is no picnic in and of itself, but I will certainly be praying that you do not get an additional diagnosis of Parkinson’s.
Stay healthy and safe and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or for support.
-Nikki

I was sooooo relieved with having ET…at least it wasn’t Parkinson’s…and then it was. Like you, I have both!

I admire you for openly sharing what you are going through. Yes, keep fighting and sharing. It’s helping others who can relate for sure.🙂
