Hey! I was having terrible tremors for about 12 years. Bad major motion and fine movements. So I have been on clonazepam, a benzo, drugs I hate and think are dangerous, but it was all that worked. WELL, I just had to get my mental health, antidepressant meds tweaked. They were aghast at one I had been on for ... you guessed it 12 years. It has a major side effect of TREMORS! I got right off it and my tremors are virtually gone. But it takes about 3 months to safely get off the med I used to treat them. What a mess! The new med they gave me is Cymbalta and it has helped to drop my pain level from a daily 8-9 to a 2-3!!

Sorry to ramble. Bottom line, clonazepam worked great for me, but thoroughly discuss with dr. Good luck. Love, Kelly

Thank You so much.. for sharing with me I use a walker in my house wheel chair when I leave the house or some one one has to hold me up to walk.has been like that since 2012 diagnosed in 2011.

Had tremors since 2013 on my right side body in mornings out of bed in 2016 before I got a walker

To see me get out of bed first 5 mins

Looked as if I where in a mosh pit

I’m sure as I didn’t see my self lol

Fortunately that doesn’t happen anymore I don’t know why .I’m glad.

Now since 2015 I turn over in bed and my whole body violently shakes Going seizure mode I’m not having a seizure so my whole body shakes

I shake with all movement

It’s getting Ridiculous

No cooking getting or getting anything for my self

Think Didn’t have the tremors maybe I can cook and get water for myself or anything else

Maybe drive again quit driving

In 2017 due to the sudden violentl tremors in arm that just randomly occur with out notice even 😝

That thankfully has stoped to .

I take Copaxone and blood pressure pill. Which I don’t like taking the BP pill.hate the daily injection.

Looking for another M S med

I read a lot of natural health

Always have whole life ..

I smoke marijuana.. for no reason

But to keep my head from feeling

Intoxicated. So in short iam leery

Of ALL medication .

These Tremors gosh today I couldn’t stand till my 4 th try

Never happened before like Omg holding on to the walker violently shaking I turned around on the couch and got up on my knees

Stood from there with out the hippie Dippie shakes..

Went outside to smoke is Nice balmy 29 .. came in the house went to lay down to rest then tears flowed So I started praying

Please take these tremors away .

Weirdest thing on my left arm started hurting like a pin was in it and it was being twisted that I don’t know I’m gonna have a heart attack but I didn’t I’m still here but this went on for four days and then it Them left hand it hurts so bad in the morning all these Episodes only lasted about five minutesI don’t know why and it don’t hurt now no pain I don’t know what the heck it was but I have the same kind of pain on my right hip now But it’s been on there for about six months and my hip

Any way now Rambling on about my aches and pains with MS yay 😀

Have a great day

I get those same kind of pains. It often feels like there is a wasp in my clothes stinging me! I even have gotten undressed just to check when I know there is no wasp! 😂 I am so sad you are getting slammed so hard with this Monster. Anytime you want to chat, feel free to private message me, okay? Have a good day. Love, Kelly

Sometimes my leg would uncontrollably shake, tremor in hands, it was very unstable when I stood up. I did have pain in the top half of my legs. Spasticity was the problem, the dr gave me baclofen and it has tremendously.
