What is it Like to Live with Essential Tremor? Abbott Asked Singer-Songwriter Jill Sobule to Explain

[@mariannskears1733]

I can't even watch it because I know exactly how it feels every day of my life with every task I want to perform. Even every day tasks such as eating and brushing my teeth and yes guitar. I am trying to figure out how to do this with my tremors. That's why I'm here. I just don't want to have my head drilled into. How ever I have been a vocalist all of my life and believe it or not with muscle and I'm not sure which ones., possibly the diaphragm, we can control those pleasing in the vocal realm tremors which translates into vibrato. I guess I need to be thankful that I have learned to control my vocal tremors. I just don't want to give up on guitar.

I'm so curious what the device is called that stops the tremors. My mother has essential tremors and it would be so nice for her to look further into this device!
