Shaky hands? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

schao · 10-24-2006, 10:51 AM

Anyone have this? When I am just sitting or laying down still I don't shake, but when I'm doing something with my hands like picking up a glass or writing--my hands shake. My handwriting is absolutely pitiful. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
schao

I have noticed recently that my hands will shake sometimes as well. I can be trying to research in the computer and my hand (but only my right) will start shaking really bad. And even if I move my hand it doesn't stop, I just have to wait for it to pass. Kinda scares me because my mom had neuropathy and that was how her's started but she didn't mention it to a dr for a long time. I go to the dr again in a few weeks and I am going to start keeping track of EVERYTHING. I'm trying to get my PCP to set me up with a different rheumy, partly because the current rheumy wouldn't even give me anythign pain wise for my migraines, not even something migraine specific, he told me to just wait it out.

I get that too ... in fact, I have had all sorts of neuro symptoms (tingling, pins 'n' needles etc) so I was checked for MS. No one has any answers for me either very frustrating!!

Hi Schao:

I have shakey hands, but it's some sort of palsey I inherited from my father's side of the family. I'm kinda thinking that FM patients are prone to these types of symptoms, but I'm no doctor.
