Had Glandular Fever, Experiencing Neurological Problems, Diagnosed Post Infectious Polyneropathy, Getting Tremors. Will Loose Motor Function?

Hi I had glandular fever 2yrs ago and about 3-4 months later started to experinece alot of neurological problems with pins and needles and numbness in hands at night, pains in my head, and other parts of my body. The neuro at the time dignosed post infectious polyneropathy related to EBV. Had ful tests-MRI, spinal tap, bloods etc, all normal. Since then I have developed tremors particularly at night time (resting tremor?) which wake me up though they have reduced in intensity of late thank god. I ocassionally in the day get some tremors(intention) but its not severe and when focused I notice nothing at all. But lately I have been feeling weird sensations in my hands particularly. My worry is that this will progress to the point that I lose motor function. Is this a possibilty? I do not have diabetes.

Hi, it appears to be a poly neuropathy not related to the fever, it may be related to anemia, hypertension, anxiety, gastritis etc.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patient with such symptoms investigate for the cause, and in abscence of the cause i prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, oral anti oxidants, and ranitidine, iron preparations, and anxiolytics. Thank you.
