Tremors

[amas]

I'm trying to figure out my tremors.  I have spaticity in my legs with tremors at times which are even worse when I am carrying my son.  I notice that when I'm driving on the freeway and the lane is not smooth my tremors seems to be worse and my legs get tighter.  Does anyone notice this.  I have read how some have felt they shake in the MRI machine.  Can motions as these increase our tremors?  Is there a trick to prevent it from happening?

I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question.  I was diagnosed May 9 and from the time I was told about the suspicion of MS to actual diagnosis was two and a half months.  I spent that time learning as much as I could about how they diagnosis it and mimics etc.  Of course I knew a lot of the symtoms because I was living with many but now I need to try to figure out how to live best with them and work around them if possible.

If there are any good books or websites anyone can recommend I would appreciate that too.

Tremors are one of the most difficult symptoms to treat.  I've heard of people being prescribed beta blockers, but I don't know how effective they are.

Is it a tremor in your leg, or the shakes?  My right leg is shaky and wiggles back and forth, especially if I'm trying to balance on something.  I don't know where your lesions are, but I have a lesion in the right cerebellum, and my right hand tremors are from that.

Hi. Thats a good question.  It feels like a tremor. My left knee shakes when it is bearing most of my weight and it feels different from that.  Both hands don't keep still when I hold a paper or when I drink a cup of water for example.  I actually feel this throughout my body at times.  It makes me feel as though I bounce when I walk. Even my head feels as though it bounces.  If I try to do push ups or chest presses my entire arms start shaking or tremoring very quickly which I never had happen before unless I was pushing myself to a new level.  What's the difference  between a tremor or a shake? It's not all the time but it is happening more often since it started about a month ago.
