How can I minimize the affects of ET on my life?
Become informed about your condition and learn as much as you can about living with ET. Instead of restricting your life because of what others may think, explain your condition simply and honestly when you meet new people. If your child has ET, you may want to talk to teachers in person about the neurological basis for symptoms. Find ways to reduce stress and learn some relaxation techniques. Avoid things that may worsen tremor, such as caffeine and certain prescription medications. Contact the IETF for an information packet or information about joining or starting a support group for ET.
