: Involuntary Movements (tremors)

March 21, 2011

This subject is certainly intriguing to me it is one of my most scary symptoms

as no one is really telling me why I am having them. They started last March

when my fevers and acid reflux started up. I have had these tremors before and

they usually occur from physical exertion. Like there were times were I would be

using the ladies room and just having my feet sit on the ground and have the

toilet be to short and my leg would start trembling uncontrollably if I would

try and put my hand on my knee to stop it It would just get worse. That was just

here and there now I have them almost anytime I try and do anything. Like when

I had to have my fingerprint scanned I couldn't get my left hand to stay still

enough to even get it scanned! My Rheumy is blaming MTX but I was only on that

for a month I've been having this issue on a daily basis since this summer. and

stopped doing computer technology as my major in school because of the hand

tremors. I don't know how many times I have to keep re-typing again and again

b/c my finger tip hits the wrong thing. even caused me to fail tests. where are

these new researches on Still's that include these tremors.

Also I am not on any pain killers what so ever. I am on meds for sleep & adhd

however these symptoms started more than 6 months after I was on a stable dose

and my doctor doesn't think it is those meds.

There is also some new data that Still's patients are having essential tremors,

which are steady rhythmic movements, kinda like having Parkinson's disease. Not

the jerk type movements that you are describing.

I do know another person with Still's that has the jerk type movements and her

doctor to her she had restless leg syndrome.
