Eye Tremors and loss of balance. Why?

My son, 31 developed eye tremors and gradual loss of balance over the past 12 months.Doctors and neurologists are mystified despite intensive investigation. They say the cause is not directly coming from the optic nerves but emanating from the brain.

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds worrisome. Not sure this is the right forum for that. Your son is probably too young to suffer from PMR/GCA. I would suggest searching on "eye tremor" or "balance" in All Communities.

Sorry to hear that - but not sure we can help you - this forum is for Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis. Think you need a neurological forum - like ne of those listed on here -

The fact that we don't know which country you live in doesn't help us suggest a specific forum either.

A Quick Look produced Nistagmus. A condition of the eyes that affects the balance. See if it fits. X
