Guest guest Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi Lee! Btw, I bet your patient was given a beta-blocker. You said she'd been given HTN meds even tho her bp's fine. Beta-blockers are commonly used for essential tremors. Some seizure meds, Topirimate, Topomax brand name, and primidone, an older-harsher med, are also used for tremors. Does she have tremors anywhere else? Lynn Pain is Normal - Be WEIRD! J. Lynn Detamore, MS, L.Ac. Licensed Acupuncturist lynndetamore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Lynn I'm sure your right about the beta blocker. She seemed to take all meds given without question. (BP pills as a preventative, etc...) I treated her for blood and spleen deficiency as suggested because she did show many symptoms of that. I got to treat her 3 times. The shaking seemed to be less intense but was still there. Her voice quit reflecting the shaking. She decided to discontinue treatment since her many years of having her head shake was not solved in a week. Sigh.............................. Lee Tritt ________________________________ J.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Lee:  At least you tried. This can be very frustrating for us. Just look at it like she probably got more from those treatments than she has gotten throughout her whole search for health. Anne Anne C.
