Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

It is unfortunate that you are suffering on account of your neurological symptoms, and moreover, no diagnosis has been made.

Normal MRI rules out stroke, as it would be clearly seen on the MRI.

The possibilities include essential tremors, parkinsonism and cerebellar ataxia. If you can upload a copy of your MRI report, it would be useful. Also, if you can mention the abnormalities found by the neurologist on examination, it would be useful.

For relief from tremors, you can use propranolol, a beta blocker.

I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
