Tremor in Hands - 7 Months

[usysparawl]

Eve,
I also have a tremor in my hands, left worse than right. I've been twitching now for 7 months. I had a neuro exam several months ago, and the neuro didn't think an EMG was necessary as well. I didn't mention the tremor at the time, cause I started noticing it after I quit taking Klonopin. I am back on a very low dose, but still have the tremor. I did see my GP years ago about the tremor (I've had it on and off for years) and he said it was either anxiety or a benign, essential tremor. It never scared me much (just an annoyance) until the ALS scare and then all sorts of neuro diseases came to mind after reading too much information. My fingers wag back and forth as well. Worse when stressed and after a hot bath -- whenever my heartbeat is faster.

Yes, also a tremor in left hand with hard to describe feelings of weakness and uneasiness in left arm (not actual weakness, but a strange weak feeling). Also pins & needles. AND the classic thumb twitch/tremor). That arm/hand thing though ... don't like the feel of that at all. Seems to be very common (even typical I think) in BFSers.
