Shake It Up! The Podcast
This podcast is all about Essential Tremor. You've all seen it in other people but didn't know what it was called. It is estimated that between 4 and 10 million people in the United States alone is afflicted. We will discuss news, treatment options and lifestyle issues. I've had essential tremor for as long as I can remember but it really got bad in the last 5 years or so. Therefore, I come to this, as your host, from a layman's perspective and not a medical professional. We will cover everything related to ET. I welcome your input!

China's story behind her essential tremor being , if not caused, but exacerbated by a physical illness is a new one on me! Her method of treatment is equally interesting and compelling. China serves as inspiration to everyone faced with a life-altering illness, as China was.
Despite some video and audio issues we had, I invite you to watch and listen as she tells us her story.

In this first episode, I paint a picture of what life is like with Essential Tremor. Most episodes will be on YouTube as well if you have the time to watch.
There is a minor error near the end of this episode. Originally, I was going to discuss treatment options but a great opportunity came up to Interview Nichole Wilton, better known worldwide as Shakey Nan! She is a great advocate for those who suffer from ET.
In our second episode of Shake It Up, we talk to Shakey Nan. Nan champions the cause of those afflicted with essential tremor. We discuss a relatively new device, the Vilim Ball. This is a device that maps your tremor and helps correct it, albeit temporarily.
Larry is my older brother and also suffers from essential tremor as did our father and his father. We discuss the differences in treatment as well as differences in how our tremors manifest themselves.
The Interview ends rather abruptly. I'm new at this and forgot to transition properly so we could continue, what turned out to be, a rather private conversation! :)
