I worked as a secretary. I would sit for long periods of time after I would be sitting there doing my work and all of a sudden my legs would start to shake it would last about five to 10 minutes. When I would be sitting at the computer my neck hands and head would shake. I saw three neurologist one said he wasn't sure what is was and the other said possible essential tremors, the third one said it was psychosomatic. I only started having these tremors about 4 yrs ago and nothing traumatic has happen to make me think it because I'm crazy
I have Raynaud and venous insufficiency. I have elevated Ra Factors for years some over 100. but the last one I had was normal. M ana was positive for specked pattern. I saw three rheumatologist in the last ten years and they say it's not Ra even though my RA levels were as high as 172 and 212.
Sorry I have a couple of other things I should tell you also. I can't take pain medication because I have pain in my chest area that makes me feel like I'm having a heart attack and I can't take muscle relaxers because they zonk me out.
I would like your opinion on what might be causes the tremors and who I should see about it.
