I am interested as well. I was told Botox is good for tremor if you have it in your face your neck your chin etc. I don’t know how much good it would do in terms of the torso area or the arms or even feet although I’m not sure and I have looked into it.

My only trepidation is finding the best doctor that knows the way nerves work because if you put Botox in a nerve the wrong way or you miss a nerve or something happens you could end up with Bell’s palsy and you can end up with other issues if it’s not done correctly.

I'm seeing a specialist for that purpose next month. Results should be immediate so I'll post on it.

My friend has essential and internal tremors. Gets shots of botox from her doctor every three months.

I had the first botox injection two weeks ago. I can't tell whether it helped. I still have the hand and forearm tremor. I think she wanted to try a small dose with the idea of increasing it in the future.
