\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I met Sara about 5 years ago when she came to our Silver Spring, Maryland support group meeting with her sister. I’ve known a number of women with severe voice tremor. Sara was the worst case ever. I could not understand a word she said. Sara was very helpful when HopeNET made its presentation to Congressional Legislative Assistants for Healthcare. The Congressional staffers were awestruck when Sara got up & spoke. They saw firsthand how severe Essential Tremor can be. Sara came to a few more meetings but soon stopped coming. Recently her sister contacted me & told me Sara had died in a nursing home. She had choked to death in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

Lou Devaughn in our Falls Church, Virginia group was the first person to bring the connection of swallowing & ET to my attention. Since then, I have found anecdotally that it involves a lot of people who have ET.<\/p>\n

In speaking with Dr. Paul Fishman of the University of Maryland, I asked about the connection. He said that he felt that there was one. Of interest, he said that currently the cause of death for Parkinson’s is pneumonia & choking.<\/p>\n

I have heard repeatedly that ET is benign – you don’ t die from it. I now take exception to that statement. I believe Sara died from ET. I wanted so badly to be of some help to her. I’ve thought a lot about her since I found out she died.<\/p>\n
