The Diagnosis Is In

And it's the best I could ask for.

I saw a neurologist on Friday, and she said I had that one non-fatal item on my family doctor's terrifying list.

I will neither confirm nor deny that this was my face when I got the news.

I have essential tremor at a very young age. It usually manifests in people in their 60s. It will most likely progress to my other hand, neck and head, but won't kill me. There are drugs I can take to help "once it becomes handicapping".

Still a lot to process. But I'm so thankful it's not one of the ones that were a death sentence.

So now I will whole heartedly confirm that this is my face:

So thanks for all your well wishes. I'll hopefully be back to the crazy here that is Tongue In Cheek soon. Until then, Citizens!

    Good that it wasn't a fatal one, hopefully any progression is super duper slow

    I second (third?) Pat's comment as well. <3

    Also, I think that first gif might give me nightmares, yet I can't stop watching it.

    I'm doing that thing in the second picture for you. I was a little scared for you. I've lost two friends to ALS. So maybe some stress symptoms will disappear soon. Love ya.
