Hi not been on for awhile but was wondering if anyone else has a really shaky head that gives a pain, not a headache but just a pain in the top of the head, my head seems to shake constantly except when i rest my head anywhere, but even then my eye still wobbles

head shakes
Sorry no head shakes but if stressed whole body can shake x
Hello Xray25,
Yes, my head shakes, worse when I'm stressed, or frustrated or nervous. So much that sometimes I find it hard to focus if I'm trying to read anything. The doctor tried beta-blockers with me, they worked for a while but not so much any more.
If something is causing you worry, pain or difficulty I always think that It's best to seek proffessional advice, a trusted pharmasist who know's your circumstances is always a good start.

I'm sure we're not the only ones on here with that problem either?
Good luck, keep thinking happy thoughts!

I'm on 80mg slow release propanol seems to help still have the odd one
Hi xray25, my body and head shake too, if I am stressed, tired or cold it is worse. It is very tiring shaking and twitching, it does drive you mad. I used to have Botox injections in my neck, but stopped it as it made me feel like I had flu. I find diazepam helps , but I can only have an odd one as it is addictive, so I sometimes take one if I am going out. My head feels funny too like brain fog, my brain has shrank a bit so there is extra fluid, does not make me feel fine. My eyes used to wobble, but now it is just now and then, which is weird I thought. Hope you can get something to help your shake
Best wishes Suzie
Hi to all,
I had terrible shakes and took meds and had physio and they went away and come back now and again.
I wanted to share this info with everyone on Ataxia website to try - its fry and it works.
For two weeks now I have been using pressure points to alleviate my pain.
If you look on web you can see all the pressure points to use for what pain.
For head shakes I press the point between my eyebrows - THIRD EYE POINT - for 2 minutes.
I press the point every morning and night for 2 minutes and when AND if I get the head shakes again, I press again.
I have also tried the pressure points for sleep and leg jerks they have worked a bit.
Good luck everyone - no harm in trying!
