Default RE: Shaky Hands

I flew for 6 years, which included flying Pylon at the Nats with 185+ mph racers and NEVER had the shakes.

I started getting tremors and shakes in 2003 and could not even fly a trainer safely.

Went to many Doctors for a couple years and found out I had developed Essential Tremors and they effected my flying, building, tying my shoes, and shaving.....

After trying at least 10 different medications, I found I could actually fly a plane safely taking Proprollanol (a beta blocker) that slowed my heart rate down enough that the tremors did not effect my flying.

In 2009, I won the Q500 Nats using this Beta Blocker. I would be sitting at home without this medication, see a Doctor, you may find out that it is not just anxiety, but a neurological condition. Best wishes!
