I have epilepsy [Vimpat 400 mg, Briviact 75 mg] (for fifty years), schwannomatosis, high blood pressure [lisinopril 10 mg], diabetes [Metformin 1000 mg], etc. My Father had Parkinson's disease, but I was checked for it DAT scan which proved negative. I use the laptop a lot, am 63 years of age, but medically retired, 5ft 9 1/2 inches tall and currently 15 1/2 stone. I know what I want to write, but my hands shake a lot especially my fingers, writing this can be a real ordeal? I sometimes feel like sticking a knife into my left hand, which is the worst, I was born left handed, but 'taught' to write right handed when I was small! Just to get my body concentrated, to steady myself, because I know inwardly I can write faster! I was diagnosed with diabetes, via a blood test, just as I was isolated for 12 weeks, 6 weeks ago, the Metformin has not helped my situation, I normally live on my own, have been doing for 17 years. I'm an isolated stubborn old bugger and I have always liked it that way! I have lumps from the schwannomatosis around my prostrate, and a permanent temperature tells me something wrong down there, I cannot get them removed, as I am in a weakened condition susceptible to Coronavirus. I am on the waiting list for surgery for those! These shaking hands although getting worse, started probably two years ago, could it simply be side effects of my epilepsy medication which I started about that time, or plain old age?
