Question hand tremors, etc. advice?

Hi there! I just got results from my MRI today, it is normal as was my blood work. Here's my thing.. I have had what I now know is a resting tremor of my right hand since Feb. My hand writing has gotten very sloppy and small, my right arm & now leg feel very heavy, my family & friends keep asking me to repeat myself when I talk to them. It takes a lot of energy to talk sometimes. I often feel just plain "heavy" and have to really coax myself to talk or move sometimes. I get tired at the drop of a hat and have taken up napping. In my mind I am still happy and energetic- but my body just doesn't always want to do stuff. I have an appointment with a neurologist, but not until January. any words of wisdom for me to go on until then? Please?

Have you been checked for B-12 deficiency? If not the neurologist will probably do so, it isn't always checked unless specifically requested by the Dr and it is very expensive so there needs to be some outward signs lending to suspecion. Fatigue, poor balance, speech coherency, tingling or burning tongue, inability to get the right word out in a conversation and so on. Not all have to be present to qualitfy for testing. I have pernicious anemia(B-12 deficiency)and my B12 level was very low for a long time and I give my own injection every 2 weeks, it's a life long treatment. That is one of the possiblities.

Thank you Nancy for replying! Yes, I had my B-12 checked and it is fine. I am back to the drawing board I guess, but at least I know my blood is good and I don't have a brain tumor or anything. Thanks for taking the time to reply, I do appreciate it! Best of everything to you!

Thanks SnowyLynne! That is one of the possibilities the doc mentioned. seems it doesn't usually happen while at rest though, still a lot of research to do. Thanks!
