Anyone know anything about Full body Tremors?

[Tra204]

Have several symptoms and has had MRIs, back damage and have seen specialist for the nervous system and spine. They cannot find out what's wrong with me. I have a lot of symptoms for MS but MRI doesn't show scar tissue on my brain. Although everyone of my sinus cavaties are blocked and completely filled, it's hard to see everything in my head due to the sinuses. I suffer with muscle stiffness any time of the day (driving, my right leg will go stiff causing problems in driving). I have had migraines and a few times a month I will have a pain in the back of my head on the right side that burns. It feels like a ball is in my head the size of a plum. I have mentioned this to the ENT doctor but he doesn't know what causes it. It's painful and last from minutes to hours. I have three herniated disk, 4 bulging disk and several degenerative disk all from the T7 down to the L1 lombar. Been to two specialist and had MRIs done, they can't tell me why I have full body tremors throughout the day. If I get startled or scared, my body reacts and it almost paralizes me. Can last several minutes. I also seem to be experiencing RLS. Can someone please assist me?

This sounds so much like me!! I do have lesions on my brain but not my spine. Only once have I had the full body tremor, but I too have RLS so my legs are always going. My right side, arm and leg, I get spasms. Tremors, spasms, don't what to call it. I have passed out and cannot drive anymore, though my leg would stiffen up and tremor when I did. (doctors have reqtricted my driving). I also have degenerative disks. No one can tell me anything, and when the doctors don't know what to say they decide that there is nothing wrong.

I finally found a doctor that didn't know what to do and thankfully admitted that to send me out of state to someone who does. Problem there is my insurance doesn't want to cover it. They might be able to send me to UCLA but now is the wait and paperwork. Meanwhile, I have to wait and be miserable. So unfair!

I will suggest that if you have insurance, and gawd, everyone should be able to, to write to a specialist and your insurance and tell them that you need to see a specialist. Drop doctor names! I see now that when they see it is costing them more they will help, just takes time. I told them that I have been to the hospital 5 times in June, they can continue paying hospital bills or send me to a real doctor (I did write nicer than that! haha)  

If I can be of any help, or to talk to, please write to me. My uncle is in the insurance business and told me what to write to the doctors and insurance co.

Good luck to you!!

Hi,
Your symptoms may be  related to migraine only .The most common are classic migraine and common migraine. Classic migraines start with a warning sign, called an aura. You may also feel a strange prickly or burning sensation, or have muscle weakness on one side of your body. You may have trouble communicating. You may also feel depressed, irritable and restless.Auras last about 15 to 30 minutes. Auras may occur before or after your head pain, and sometimes the pain and aura overlap, or the pain never occurs. The head pain of classic migraines may occur on one side of your head or on both sides.The cause of tremors may be the same as migraines i.e stress . Some tremors may be triggered by or become exaggerated during times of stress or strong emotion, when the individual is physically exhausted, or during certain postures or movements.If you have MS , the lesions will definitely reflect in MRI . Please consult a physician or neurologist for management . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
