Newf- I was already drinking diet soda but also regular. I am not taking a multi-vitamin (forget), that is something to tell my doctor.

Yup, my father is adopted with limited knowledge of his birth family (we know how his parents died, his grandfather died and he still is in contact with a brother) so we aren't sure if someone had it. No one in my immediate family or on my mom's side has exhibited a tremor even though it is something like a 50% chance of passing it on.
Three neurologists (including the Baylor team) have diagnosed me and also stated I was a rare early onset case my first tremor diagnosis was at 23 and my tremors started shortly after my 23rd birthday. It does happen to younger people with some regularity but it is still more often an older age condition and because of that many never are diagnosed as they think it is just "old age". I also at the height of it I had it slightly in my leg which is rare and slightly in my voice. If it is indeed flaring back up it has only started faintly in my right hand. My handwriting is definitely indicative that the punk is back but there are other things to investigate before I start popping anti-convulsants again.
