I was referred to a neurologist a couple of years ago due to shaking. Mine was an Essential Tremor which although a nuisance is not life threatening. Hope yours is similar and not MS.

Me too! My dad had it and so does his sister, my aunty! My dad thought he had Parkinson's disease, but was told it was familial essential tremor. And I have inherited it!! As you say, not life threatening but a buggar when you're trying to carry a mug of coffee!! XX

You're so right. I seem to be the only one in my family, so far, with either of these dreaded things.

yep same scenario 8 years ago luckily for me not ms they placed me on beta blockers which help to control their severity. good luck & let us know how you get on.

I get terrible tremors and have to eat and sit for about half hr b4 it subsides :(. Hope you feel better soon

[Ginsing]

That is so horrid poor you I do hope it is nothing to nasty. Fingers crossed try and keep positive if you can xgins

[fairycazzie]

Hope all not too bad and neurologist is a help.

I have suffered too with shakes on/off was legs with me and it happened anywhere.

I was ruled out a year a go with Ms but told me its a possibility in a year or 2 but at the time no lesions.

There is a number of things that can cause it and is it constant or on/off how long etc .

You will be asked a few questions.

I keep fingers crossed for you xxxx

Ive been suffering with the shakes all over now for over a year and all that stops it is valium!

Let us know how you get on. I'm thinking of asking for a referral as its getting on my nerves literally lol

My GP doesnt seem to think its anything serious, but bought on by anxiety which i suffer terribly with, but over the past few months i have been losing my sense of smell which is also one of the signs of parkinsons. I haven't spoken to my GP about that yet as i was able to speak directly to my ENT(Sleep) Consultant. I'm seeing him on Thursday as he's going to check my nose to rule out anything there, but it is rather worrying that all these new symptoms have only been in the past year to 18 months. I wish i could just wind the clock back a few years! I can put up with the rest, i have had problems all my life which in my mind, has caused the fibro, but I have had too many new things and i just don't want any more!
