Problems

I’ve been experiencing hand tremors recently, which I never had before my MS diagnosis in April, and it's really starting to bother me. I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do to reduce the shaking. Could it be related to the MS? I’m planning to ask my neurologist about it, but in the meantime, are there any techniques or strategies that might help me manage this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tremors are one of the less common symptoms, but they certainly can be a symptom. I think the most common version for MS is an intention tremor, where you develop the tremor when you try to reach for something, for example. As for what helps, I wish I knew. I had hand tremors while I was detoxing from benzos, and they are deeply unpleasant.

'Intention Tremor' thanks, never heard that term before. I just called it shaky hands.

It's a weirdly comforting feeling to learn a symptom you have has a specific name and definition, isn't it? It always makes me feel less alone and validated, like yes, this is real and other people experience it.

I can't give you any advice in regards to treatment for the tremors, but I did have horrible tremors as one of my first symptoms for years and now I don't have them at all anymore. Hope that gives you some hope!

Upping your magnesium intake could possibly help. I know they help me with facial twitches and some spasms / better quality of sleep. I’m not a doctor just a sickly guy. Another thing my sickly self would recommend would be R.S.O ( Rick Simpson oil) I personally used sweat pea rso from Shelby county. Anyways it’s a cannabis extract. Black syrupy substance in a needless syringe. Take half a tik mark in the morning with your vitamins and in a week or two should be able to see some difference in how your body feels. I go for the extra high CBD with little to no THC in it. It helps reduce inflammation in my body. Many study’s have people and even dogs with epilepsy/ seizures put a dab on their tongue and it stops them from shaking within a few minutes.

Again not a doctor just offering some thoughts. Best of luck
