I have been diagnosed with essential tremor, which is very troublesome. It is widespread – both my hands and legs shake, amongst other things – and it is also psychologically distressing. Where can I find comprehensive information about this condition?

Essential tremor is much more common than Parkinson’s, and there is quite a lot of information available online. I can recommend the information from SWEMODIS (Swedish Movement Disorder Society): https://www.swemodis.se/information-for-patienter/, which has been translated from the English-language version. There is a long list of resources where you can select ‘Essential tremor’. On the homepage www.swemodis.se, there is more comprehensive information aimed at healthcare professionals and may therefore be a little difficult to understand, but it is freely available if you are interested in reading it: Swedish guidelines for the treatment and assessment of tremor conditions #2 2021. /Dag Nyholm
