Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Hi Holger > Anyone heard of this illness? : " essential tremor " Google has many hits for " essential tremor " . For example, see: http://www.essentialtremor.org/home_extras/essential_tremor.shtml > I only know that the woman who has this has a shaking right arm Tremors are usually due to functional or organic pathology of the spinal cord or brain. However, some tremors are due to a Trigger Point in the muscles of, or near, the affected limb. One case that I saw in Taiwan was a man whose hand/arm trembled so badly that he could not write his name. The cause was a TP in the scapular area, infraspinatus. See case #14 at http://users.med.auth.gr/~karanik/english/vet/taiwan2.htm Best regards, Email: < WORK : Teagasc Research Management, Sandymount Ave., Dublin 4, Ireland Mobile: 353-; [in the Republic: 0] HOME : 1 Esker Lawns, Lucan, Dublin, Ireland Tel : 353-; [in the Republic: 0] WWW : http://homepage.eircom.net/~progers/searchap.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
