Distinguishing BFs from Tremors

[chaoslord2]

what is the difference between the two? do people with bfs get tremors? does a person's eye twitch or tremor? thanks!

twitch is a muscle contraction and tremor is more like a shaking movement.. like your hand...if it shakes when its relaxed thats a tremor..a twitch is a small muscle movement under the skin

Well then can I assume that plenty of people in here deal with tremors as well? I frequently have them.

I don't know exactly if I have tremors, but my hands shake a bit when I hold them out, not always but many times. If I work in the garden, I'll notice many times that my arms are shaky, like I've overused the muscles. Just add another one to the list!

My question is: is muscle trembling when you use your muscles, even slightly, considered weakness? for example, when I smile my facial muscles start to tremble. This happens when I use other muscles as well, not even with much exertion. It also seems that my arms ache when I hold things up such as the phone. I am worried that these could be the beginning signs of weakness. Has anyone ever asked their neuro these questions?

i tremble all the time... most people do...your just focusing
