14. I have tremors like hers

and this really pisses me off.

She owes her constituents the truth about what's going on. If she has Parkinson's, that's serious. If she, like me, has essential tremor (tremors happen to run in the females of my mother's family), that's not serious, just embarrassing and annoying. It makes daily life tough (can't use a cell phone or touch screen; it's hard to read without support).

If she thinks no one notices, she's nuts. And she needs to explain it.

Parkinson's is a degenerative disorder; essential tremor is not. My tremors will continue to get worse, but they will not affect other systems of my body. Late-stage Parkinson's can include dementia.
