I have been embarrased since 15-16 years of age. Finally, I’m now 72 - I have a doctor who prescribed me Primidone. I can now go out to a restaurant and order SOUP - without christening my blouse, or dress and I can go to the nail salon without the poor techs panicking with my tremored hands. I have been humiliated FOREVER with my problem.Of course I have tried meds for anxiety etc. but my HANDS, never knew they were supposed to be controlled. People actually used to be kind to me by asking “are you alright”? can I help you - I used to just say, oh, yes I’m just getting over something!!! WHATEVER!!! Horrific years. Thanks to my new doctor - and I DO NOT take pills easily - I’m really bad about drugs - which never helped anyway- so I do now take this pill. It’s actually for NOT everyone, I think,. cause I do NOT have Parkinsons, but it’s similar!!!
