About three months ago I started having syptoms of major tremors, lightheadedness, headache in front of my head, major fatigue, speech problems and short term memory loss.I also have pain in my hips and having trouble sleeping and I am very unbalanced. I went to my famliy doctor who sent me to a neurologist he did a MRI which came out normal, and also a spinal tap testing for maganesse and M.S both came out fine. I have also done numorous blood test and all came back normal. My Tremors are in my legs, hands and head. My Neouroligst doesnt think it is parkinsons b/c I still have facial expressions and I dont have resting tremors which I think I do b/c when I lay down my heads still shakes side to side. He sent me to a Nose ears and throat Dr. for my light headedness he ran test and told me that it is not my ears that is causing the problems that it is the signal from the brain to the ear that may be the problem. Both doctors dont know what is wrong with me I am now out of work and stuck on what to do. If it helps any I am a welder I have been welding for 16 yrs. If anyone can help point me in the right direction I would appericiate it.

A common cause of trouble sleeping, daytime fatigue, increased tremors (a fatigue induced increase in physiological or essential tremor) is obstructuve sleep apnea
The diagnosis is made by a polysomnogram. It is quite common but underdiagnosed in teh general population and is effectively treated by a CPAP breating assist at night.
I don't know if this is possible in your case, ask your doctor
Good luck
