Hi I was diagnosed with ET two weeks before my husband sadly passed away from lung cancer. And to be honest I’m not dealing very well with the ET thing. Does anyone know if ET can flare up as I’ve been really bad over the past few week and aren’t due to start my treatment until the start of September.. as I’m typing this my hand are going numb and tingling and that only the start of it. Can’t hold a pen of feel the steering wheel in my hands after a short drive.
Hi MPN 66 I am really sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with ET, and my condolences for the sad loss of your husband.
My dad has ET, and this isn’t one of the side effects he has had. I do think this is something you should talk to your doctor about. It may be that it is connected to the ET, but you have been through an awful lot, losing your husband whilst getting this diagnoses yourself. Stress can do very strange things to our bodies. I am concerned about how your hands are whilst driving, so please do not wait to talk to someone in your medical team about this.
