shaking/tremor

Hey there everyone.  I posted twice on this adventure in the past two years and have never got any replies, so maybe third times the charm with advice.  okay, so here's the whole story, three years, in a few sentences.  I got sick, with a fever and strep, took biaxin xl for two days, started shaking, not very blatantly, but felt shaky and could see body shake slightly.  tested for MS, lymes, dehydration, anxiety, dont remember what else they tested for.  since then, my blood pressure has gone up and now im on meds for it, but that was probably due to other lifestyle factors as well.  also had mri done, nothing, and some electro something thing, the report with lots of lines on it and they put electrodes all over ur head, nothing showed.  then, i got began getting headaches, different random areas of head, tended to be on left side, or left part of forehead, sometimes, back, once in a while on the right.  they progressed and became daily to constant, 8 to 10 times a day lasting for who knows how long.  headaches are dull but constant.  the shaking, forgot to say, is still present.  have not stopped shaking yet for three years already.  just a constant, unchanging, subtle shaking, felt all over the body.  then, what happened, along with constant shaking, constant headaches, was the speech/language problems.  a little like verbal apraxia (mixing up the sounds orders and stuff), but that was just sometimes, not all the time, but there were articulation problems, nothing noticable to naive listeners, but i noticed.  as far as language-reading i began reading words that were not on the page, usually mistaked one word at a time only.  numbers, developed a sort of number dyslexia, and for me, my number recall was always great.  now it's shot., a little bit of word finding difficulty, saying the wrong word, and wriitng too, write the wrong word then intended.  dizziness also, lasting a long time, few hours at least, perhaps due to meds.  now, here's my latest, my constant headaches dropped significantly in october, now are a few times a week, usually left front, or just left.  shaking still present always, dizziness, still easily triggered.  speech and language is bad, progressively worse than before.  use the wrong somehow related words in conversation, short term memory is awful-forgetting things that happened five minutes ago, forgetting what someone said to me a few minutes ago, not really properly encoding the memories i guess i dunno, def misplacing things a lot more.  so i think that's it.  thanx for listening.  any ideas, would be helpful.  it's pretty bad for me, im about to be a speech language pathologist, so i learn about these neurological things all the time, and now that my own speech sounds so bad, im wondering if im really going to be able to affect change with my clients.  anyways, any advice is appreciated, thanx.
