FWIW my grandfather also had tremors and his final years had dementia. So at least for me this could be some genetic validation.
We just don't know when my grandfathers tremors began. We always figured it was more of a WWII/Holocaust survivorship PTSD symptom.
- thereticent 3y agoUnderstood. It's tough not to personalize findings like this. ET is heritable and dementia is heritable to some extent, but that doesn't mean one causes the other. I'm not saying you have nothing to worry about, but this paper shouldn't make you more worried than anyone with a grandparent with dementia. My best to you.
- spike021 3y agoFor sure, thanks for the reassurance.
