My brother has this issue very informative video presentation

[fbkintanar]

Very informative. Too bad that the audio quality from Maggie Waung was not very good, although the audio from Doris Wang was excellent. I hope the producers can address this problem in future recordings. My late father had essential tremor, and it seems to run in the family. Fortunately, his case was relatively mild, and never became debilitating. Other medical problems had a greater effect on his quality of life.
