Hopefully, for all persons interested in this disorder, this Web Site will become a coordinating link for collecting information, contacting other people with OT, and spreading awareness of this problem. If you have any information, suggestions, stories or services that you would like to share please send me an Email . This website is intended to be an informative guide only and is in no way a substitute for medical advice. The tremor is not visible to the eye. Walking or sitting relieves the symptoms.
Associated symptoms are imbalance and unsteadiness.
OT is a progressive disabling disease and the cause is unknown. It is a rare disorder and there is no known cure, but the symptoms often are treatable. Living with OT in public is particularly difficult. At home there are always places to lean against, or chairs to sit on. In public situations there is a fear of of being caught in line somewhere such as the food market, the bank, the post office, the airport, etc.
