My son who is almost 6 has been having slight tremors since he was born
and we took him to a nerologist when he was 15 months old he will grow
out of it they said. Well at 3 they found low upper body tone and a speech
delay. He recives ot and speech at school. The dr. does not seem to understand
when I tell her about the tremors. I know that a examaime is needed to give
exactly what is wrong but I just need a little help to possible find a name for this.
He wakes up with the shakes,if he is tying his shoe he tremors if he holds small
objects like to a board game he shakes, while he watches a movie that is exciting
he cups his hands inward and shakes.I am at a loss as to where to look. I don`t know
if any of this can be from how his dad treated him as a small child really man handled
him I don`t know for sure but suspect he shook him while I was out. Sorry this is long
I didn`t want to forget something. Thank You for a great site. Veronica.
