Hi all
I have been having twitches all over my body, and a constant tremor, mainly in my hands, head and legs for the last five days. I want to say it's just anxiety but I've never had this before. I notice I am being more clumsy and having jerky movements as well, and could barely prepare food this morning due to the shakiness of my hands.
I've been looking into Essential Tremor - does it sound like this? I have been extremely anxious and stressed lately.
I initially went through the ALS scare, but after reading many posts, I don't think it could be it because I haven't noticed any weakness (touch wood), unless the shaking IS a sign of weakness? My muscles also shake if i tense them, eg my bicep.
Please if anyone could confirm if you think this is essential tremor or something more serious... I don't want to become a shaky spasming mess in a few years time :'(
I'm 33 and female.
Thanks in advance
