Thank you all who kindly replied to my questions regarding my wife Kim's constant arm tremor.
Here's the update.
This morning her GP examined her and asked her to do a few observation tests such as asking Kim to point her finger to her own nose and back to the GPs nose.
Her arm and hand was obviously uncoordinated and couldn't do a straight line without it twisting and her left arm also was showing signs of this.
She therefore is referring Kim back to her Neurologist and we'll have to see what happens from there.
She was worried about the pain in Kim's left arm and she had a letter printed out in the office today so Kim could get an ECG done this afternoon at Wythenshawe Hospital which she did do.
we're waiting for those results now and the GP advised Kim that if she gets the pain again to go into A & E.
She did get the pain as I'm writing this but she thinks it's to do with her FND and doesn't want to go into A & E as she's tired of going to Hospitals.
I'm praying these arm tremors will ease up as they don't usually last this long.
They tend to be on and off but the tremors are concerning us both because you automatically think of MS or Parkinsons.
We're not thinking the worse though even though it's at the back of one's mind.
I definitely will have to finish work if they go worse because she can't eat with the right hand now and I help her but at the same time,we both want her to keep a sense of independence.
She hopefully will be trying some Volunteering back at her Hospital where she originally worked.
That's about it so it looks like 2017 will be another year of tests but thank you all again for all your help and everyone who has replied this year to our queries as it's been so much appreciated.
we will wish you all a happy Christmas on Sunday but until then, have a happy stress free last minute x mas shop!
Best Wishes!
Tony & Kim xx

Hi
Take care, FND can cause chest pain, as I get it a lot, check her diet in case none of her food is not reacting to it. Pain will ease off, try not to get stressed. Over time it will get easier, I've had my for over 10 years.
Have a good Christmas and may 2017 be a easier and healthier.
I'm just wondering, how can anything be worse that what you have described on these pages, Tony and Kim? Sorry, but I really do not understand why the prospect of it being or turning into MS or Parkinson's disease should be so alarming to you? Surely it is better rather than worse to have a well-known illness that most people have at least some experience of and for which there is proper medication that works to a degree, which has a largely predictable, well-documented course and outcome, and which moreover is under constant research? Can you enlighten me
Do you mean that the likes of MS or Parkinsons which is obviously more well known to treat is in some way more of a consolation?
Kim has just seen her old work friend diagnosed with MS and she was shaking from head to toe and on a walking frame despite being under Kim's same Neurologist and having good treatment.
Even though FND mimicks many of the symptoms of MS or Parkinsons, the thought of her getting Parkinsons or MS is enough to worry anyone.
My cousin died as a result of MS going worse so I can't ' enlighten' you any more on that.
In my opinion it isn't better or worse to have any condition but to not have it at all.
You seem to have misunderstood how I've worded my post.
