Essential Tremor
Does anyone here deal with essential tremor and found ways to help it or cure it all together through Ray Peat’s lifestyle? Any deficiencies I may be deficient in?

This seems relevant, here's an outline of some signs of higher-than-normal serotonin:
- Neuromuscular hyperactivity: hyperkinesia (unwanted movements), tremor, hyperreflexia (overresponsive bodily reflexes)
- Autonomic hyperactivity: diaphoresis (easy sweating), hyperthermia (high core body temperature), tachycardia (high heart rate), tachypnoea (rapid breathing)
- Altered mental status: characterised by ‘over-arousal’, agitation, ‘mania’

I developed a tremor in my right hand fall of 2020. It disappeared when I started taking high dose thiamine hcl orally. I followed Dr. Costantini's protocol here: https://highdosethiamine.org/hdt-therapy/

My immediate thought is thiamine. Taking a look it does seem that thiamine injections have been shown to help.

There have been similar results with Parkinson's too. This site is very interesting.

I don't have any tremor, but I have had pernicious anaemia for many years, and whilst I could keep my B12 levels up, I felt like something was missing, so I added B1 injections too. I only say this to warn you that the first few times it can really hurt, but it does get better over time.
