Benign Essential Trem
"I am  an 86 year old female and have an essential tremor.  I had Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in July 2008.  My battery isn&#039;t working as well as it did in the beginning.  I have tried drug after drug to help the tremor.  I have been taking tab Primidone 1/2  of 50 mg twice a day for a week.  My vision is affected, my legs are like noodles, sooooooooooo, I am going to try 1/2 at night or maybe quit all together. I still drive taking care of business but with the vision problem I don&#039;t drive.
I took care of my husband with Alzheimer&#039;s for 12 years 2003 to 2015, I have written two books documenting the progression of the disease.  I am active but the vision stops me from living my life, What should I do?"
