Greetings dear Annika,
Grrr indeed ! I have been doing a bit of research lately and have stumbled across the exact name for my problem. It is called Essential Tremor and it is as common as muck. My Spanish Neurologist did not even mention it, kept going on with fancy names such as Lewis Sumner and all her treatments came to nothing. There is no cure for ET except for zapping a minute spot in my brain with ultrasound and it has to be exact or I would be turned into ET phone home.
Yes, the paperwork is almost finished and once married we will have to start all over again by changing my status from single to married and Natascha has many name changes to do as well, as she is taking my surname. Oh boy, it may stop one day !
Thank you so much and do have a lovely Christmas yourself my friend.
Love Ralph xox ❤
