Huh. I have essential tremor as well, as do most members of my dad's side. I started showing symptoms really young (late teens), though grandpa and dad didn't until they were in their 60's, and mostly in their hands. Mine has progressed and affects my vocal chords as well as my hands. Which is awesome when stress makes it worse and there's nothing more stressful than a job interview.
I was prescribed a beta blocker for it, fyi (apo-propanalol). Extremely low dose (10mg) and I took it only when I needed the steadiness for interviews or when I had a performance with choir, because it is a blood thinner. It's an off label use, so your doc may not know about it.
