slight tremor/twitching

I have yet to be diagnosed. My dr only said he suspects, but we have nothing definite.

I started to have symptoms a few months ago, and they have been getting worse every few days.

I noticed slight shaking in my hands. Not enough to be seen by others though.

Also, my fingers will move on their own.

I will also get a feeling over my whole body that I need to "shake" this is going to sound weird, but the closest thing I can think of to describe it is when a dog comes out of the pool and shakes the water off.

does anyone else have symptoms like these? are these normal of MS, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

thanks for reading!

Does the sensation feel like you need to stretch, or extend your limbs?

I started having some myoclonus about a year ago.  It causes me to extend my back involuntarily, and I can't get my body to relax.

Sometimes, I get a "just-wanna-shake-my-body" feeling during times of anxiety.  And I gotta tell you.  When I shake my body, it sure feels satisfying.  Like a good sneeze. :)

The "slightly shaking hands" and the "fingers that move on their own" could also be due to anxiety.  But, really, they could be just about *anything* because they are very non-specific symptoms.

Do you have additional symptoms?
