Essential tremor is a fairly common condition that a neurologist would see so he/she probably diagnosed you correctly. It sounds like ET from your description.

Are you taking anything for it? Sadly there is no cure for ET but medications can reduce symptoms in some people by as much as 50%. Inderol (Propranolol) is and Primidone (Mysoline) are common medicines for ET.
