And something new

So in addition to everything else today I’ve woken up with a kind of whole body shaking thing. If I hold my hand out you can’t see me shake, it’s like an inside tremor. And my coordination is awful. I somehow managed to close a cupboard door on my face and cup my lip. My body just didn’t move out the way!

The longer this is going on, and the way it’s progressing I’m beginning to wonder if maybe MS is not what this is now. It’s approaching 3 months of symptoms just getting progressively worse. At least I only have 2 weeks to wait for my appointment thank goodness it was brought forward.

Hi

It sounds like a tremor problem. It’s a weird feeling, like your heart is racing and/or that you’re shaking uncontrollably, but when you look at your hand, or someone else touches where you feel like you’re shaking, there’s no evidence of the trembling. There are many different diagnoses that could include a tremor as one of the symptoms.

Don’t forget, it could be MS or it could be something else entirely. Even a one off event that will come to an end given some time.

I’m glad you only have a 2 week wait for an appointment, it sounds like you could do with it being tomorrow! Just don’t forget that you may still come out of that appointment with no definitive answers as to what’s been causing all your symptoms. There maybe more tests to come.

Thank you Sue. It is good to know I’m not imaging this shaking though, it’s odd almost like shivering in my core except I’m not cold.

And I would be very surprised if I did get any answers at my appointment. I’m more expecting to be sent for tests or an MRI. But at least it will be a beginning which is better than waiting. I’m sure that the stress and worry is making it worse.
