Granny's gone and done it again

No, I only take two plus an aspirin every other day. Dr said I seemed to have progressed in a bad direction very little. He could tell my voice was a little more shaky. They have a noninvasive procedure using sound waves to help correct this stuff but it has to get really bad first.
Do you have muscle Dysphonia? I have two sons and myself that have it. It affects one son real bad with a shaky voice. He gets Botox shots every few months. Helps. My other son, that lives here, Austin, and I have about the same symptoms. When we've talked for a while, our throat gets tight. Makes it hard to talk.
 
Katharine Hepburn's ailment, recently discussed on television by her niece Katharine Houghton, was not Parkinson's disease, but a progressive yet treatable neurological disorder called essential tremor. Ms. Hepburn's was referred to as familial tremor, the inherited form. Each child of a parent with the disease has a 50 percent chance of inheriting a gene that causes it. In other cases, there is no family history.

The disorder, which varies in location and severity, used to be called palsy. The International Essential Tremor Foundation, which offers information and helps search for a cure, says the disease stems from abnormal communication among areas of the brain, including the cerebellum, thalamus and brain stem. The group estimates that 10 million people in the United States and 200 million people worldwide have some form of the problem, often undiagnosed.

Many do not seek treatment because they fear Parkinson's or think tremors are part of aging. Shaking, usually starting with the hands, can begin at any age but is more common in older people; tremors starting with the head are more common in women.
Yes, her head shook. My head has started to pretty bad lately. Not as bad as hers, but bad to me. :(. It started this year. I'll wake up at night and it will shake real bad at times. It doesn't happen during the day, every day, but more often than it used to, but not as bad as when I wake up in the night. 🤷.
 
Morning all, I could have slept longer. Got up at 8.
Howdy! I was up early. Supposedcto be 90+ today. Trying to water the things I don't want to die. This is the hardest part of the year for plants. Cooler, so we don't think to water as much, but it's still so dry.

Oops, alarm just went off. Have to move the hose.

My Atenolol pretty much keeps mine under control so far.
