Need more detail please

Detailed Answer:
Good evening. My name is Dr. Saghafi and I'm a neurologist from XXXXXXX OH. I would like very much to help you discover what could be causing your symptom of shaking as you describe, however, much more information is really needed in order for me to understand what is going on.

It appears that you're scheduled to get some blood drawn. Does this mean that you've already seen a doctor about the problem? When did it start and can you describe what you mean by "body ALWAYS shaking?" I can see that you type sentences on the computer so you're able to do that sort of work. Do you mean that just your limbs tremor, do they suddenly jerk, repeatedly jerk, do you "feel" as if your body were shaking or trembling on the inside?

I take it you don't have anything such as fever or serious infection such as a sepsis because for one thing you probably wouldn't be sending text messages over the internet and for another thing you'd probably be in a hospital so we can be sure that's not the problem.

Many, many different things can cause uncontrollable shaking and tremulousness. You should clarify more me whether this shaking is PRIMARILY or ONLY in your hands when you are trying to do something such as use a tool, lift a glass, and so forth or is it present PRIMARILY or ONLY when your hands are at rest in your lap, watching TV? Perhaps, your tremors or shakes actually improve when you lift a glass, or stretch your hands out to grab something, or even use a tool?

Do write back with some details if you'd like and I'll be happy to continue the discussion.

Otherwise, if this is sufficient for your purposes and I've given you some good ideas your written feedback would be appreciated.
