Dear James,

High Flare in cerebellar region means - There are some changes inside the brain, maybe due to aging/infarct/infection inside the brain, resulting into weakness of the brain matter and ultimately resulting into the increased CSF formation, of the involved area.
The symptoms like hand tremors,seizures,spams are all related to the same.

Also co-incidentally you have disc related problems which is also affecting the power of your lower limbs and hands (due to lumbar and cervical level involvement).

So would suggest you to consult your neurologist for a specific opinion as physical examination forms a vital tool for the diagnosis.

Feel free to discuss more about your unanswered queries.

Dear James,
Well high blood pressure,  itself causes these symptoms.
So we need not search for more causative findings...
I am happy that you are opting for a new opinion, in context to your treating doctor.

Please feel free to discuss more with me as a fresh post.
