questions on treatment for ET?

Post a new topicby Officer25 on Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:32 am

Hi, I'm from Canada and i'm 25 yo.Since the age of 15 yo that I have Essential Tremor I always wanted to be a cop. But, I never apply in Police technology ...so I worked in security ,very boring job. After, the years , with my experience , I tried to apply to be Correctionnal Officer . I was only on primidone and It was ok to pass all the guns qualifications and without medication I could pass.... It was more difficult with the AR-15 at 100 yards, but I passed! I still dont like my job, I really want to be a cop. I just decided to be a cop at 25 yo.I have to go to school for 3 or 4 years . I'll try ,I'll be around 30 or 31 yo if it works for me.If u dont have dreeams in your life, life will suck so bad....I believe that they will find something that will help more than 10 millions persons in America that has ET Sorry,i'm french,my english is not so good.... For now, I'm on Primidone and Propranolol, it is still not ok for me because there is always a little bite of tremor...but there is a big difference without the Propranolol...

I heard about Corgard or _Nadolol_,its good for ET?

There is DBS thats seem to be very effective, do u know if young patient could have DBS??
Idont think that the Dep. of Police will accept someone with that kind of device ???

I saw that Gamma Knife surgery is good too...but not reversible...so if u have complications, Uh OH!? Do you know if that kind of surgery is available in Canada.?

A guy fighting with u guys against ET ..
