Any body else coping with Essential Tremors

RevLinePhoto

I have always had some what shaky hands but in the past few mounths I noticed it got severly worse. It got to the point the other weekend I couldnt open a package. Which is something a 21 year old persion shouldnt have problems with. So I finaly went to the doctor and He diagnosed me with ET. I was wondering if there is anybody else on here with the same problem. I have been using tripods and monopods alote latly but would like to be able to shoot hand held again espeicaly with my 300mm without uping my ISO and shutter. The cost of IS lenses have been a good deturance also.

/edit: I just realised one of the causes why I got my nickname, And I thought it was because people told me I act to old for my age. /edit.
