I wonder how noticeable the tremor becomes. I, too, have a similar problem, which some neurologists have chosen to call an ‘essential tremor.’ (As an aside, I do not know what is so darn essential about it)! If you have had the tremor for long, you already know ways to compensate for it — hold drinks in the non-trembling hand, hold the podium if speaking publicly, or avoid the situation. I would suggest standing or sitting near a table or some other place to put your drink (but don’t leave it unattended, especially in a bar). Socialize and go back to take a drink when needed. Another question: if you drink, does alcoholic beverages slow the tremor? My tremor is on my right side and it gets more pronounced when I am under stress — from public speaking, physical exertion, even getting angry. I have gotten the snide comments from people about being nervous or scared, even in my forum — a courtroom. Above all, user the pre-emptive strike. Acknowledge the fact that you have the trembling and get it out of the way. Develop a sense of humor about it. I have been happily married for almost nine years and my wife and her best friend kid around about it — calling me ‘Shaky,’ etc. If the guy can not get past something that is part of you, he will not get past much and is not worth pursuing. Do not settle.
