I have a tremor, it's getting worse and affects my voice. The doc doesn't know what it is so he pronounced it a, "familial tremor". No one in my immediate or extended family has ever had it. Never mind, it's a familial tremor.
I think he thought he was consoling me by telling me that Katharine Hepburn had it too.
thats why its called a medical PRACTICE
there is a condition called dysphonia...probably not spelling it right...but its basically dystonia of the voice box.....dystonia is a nerve disorder that causes spasms...if you have that, you can get botox for it...of course its a specialized type of treatment and not just any neurologist can do it...
“I have a tremor, it’s getting worse and affects my voice. The doc doesn’t know what it is so he pronounced it a, “familial tremor”. No one in my immediate or extended family has ever had it. Never mind, it’s a familial tremor.”
One of our younger relatives has this diagnosis, and it happens with his fingers when he tries to do some small and precise work and sometimes when printing or writing.
No one in his gene pool and sibs have this. He is a dead ringer for his dad when his dad was his age, so it wasn’t a gift from the milkman or postman.
His Family Doc had/has the same diagnosis, and no one in his large family has it. His doc told our relative, that was one many reasons, he didn’t become a neuro surgeon.
