I am not a drinker. I haven't had a drink since 1995. I quit after being told by a neurologist that alcohol was causing my tremors. It got worse, to the point where even a little alcohol (Dijon Mustard made with white wine) would cause me to go into severe tremors. I had 3 seizures in 1995, all because I either ingested alcohol or received it in a cortisone injection (benzyl alcohol is a preservative in cortisone). To this day, I have yet to meet anyone with this condition. I look on blogs & posts about people being affected by alcohol and having tremors, but they all get tremors as a result of withdrawal, not from a slight exposure. Is there anyone out there with this problem? I have talked to doctors who haven't got a clue about essential tremor, much less my type of reaction to the slightest amount of alcohol. So, I would like to know if I am all by myself in this strange condition.

I do not have a brain tumor. I would like to find someone who has the same problem. The only hunch I have is that an exposure to high amount of the antibiotic nafcillin was a factor.
