Over 10 million Americans, including children have Essential Tremors (ET). Recent research indicates that 5 out of every 100 children under the age of 20 has Essential Tremor. DSF works with people worldwide to show that ET is an international progressive disorder and can worsen with time causing serious debility . We are unwavering to assist families with our Programs. ET can begin at any age, from birth to 100 and doesn’t discriminate with age, race, sex, or national origin.

Please give to help families living with uncontrollable tremors to live productive healthy lives. Many people living with ET lose their jobs or they are forced to take early retirement because of tremors. 
The Diann Shaddox Foundation for Essential Tremor Family Assistance Program is designed to help people who have hardship because they have uncontrollable head, voice, leg, hand, and body tremors. 

One study of loss of work productivity reported that 25% of ET cases were forced to change jobs or take early retirement because of tremor; however, the ET cases were recruited to a specialty care center rather than from the population and this is an older study, so it is difficult to extrapolate these data to cases in the general population, who often have tremor that is milder than that seen in clinic patients. No studies have attempted to estimate the magnitude of health care expenditures associated with ET, yet this is an issue of great importance.
​
In summary, the current study in 2017 estimates that 12 million individuals in the USA have ET, 42 million in the world. Knowing the number of ET cases is important for estimating the medical burden on communities and society, and providing an objective metric on which to base health resource planning.
