Jan. 9th, 2015 08:07 amThere has been a lot going on here at Casa David. A number of things I can’t talk about. A couple of things I don’t want to talk about. And a few that I won’t talk about.
One thing that has been ongoing that now I feel I can talk about it is something that has been going on with me.
Peter noticed that my hands were visibly shaking at times. I noticed that I felt as if my whole body was vibrating at time and when I got the shivers all bets were off.
So off to the doctor and a specialist and a few tests and I have yet another life annoying rather than life threating problem. I seem to collect those. Anything that is wrong with me is not going to kill me but it will make things interesting at times.
It is called essential tremors and a lot of people have it and either don’t know or ignore it. It can be brought on by all kinds of things including stress. One has their good days and their bad days.
Mine is pretty low level over all. I can feel it but it hasn’t really affected my life with the exceptions of a couple of dinner plates I have broken and a number of bowling balls I have dropped while playing. I have always been a bit of a klutz so this is not too different for me.
Honestly it looks worse than it is. I wouldn’t recommend that I take a picture for you even with the steady feature in the camera, which kind of stinks because I have always enjoyed photography. Threading a needle can become quite a challenge. My handwriting was never the best anyway so no really difference there. Those who know me are probably nodding at this point. Trying to create a straight line on something is an adventure. I am able to perform a nervous puppet incredibly well.
So I know my limitations. I know things I can do to help. I know that this may be as far as it goes or it might get worse. If it does get to a point, there are medical things that I can do but I am not there yet.
So like I said annoying but not life threating. I will continue to deal with it pretty much as I have in the past but at least I have some idea of what is going on with me now.
Onto the other stuff that needs to be dealt with.
I am grateful that it turned out to be life annoying.
