    Shakiness

    I have noticed that while I don't seem "shaky" in general, when I go to pick something up (a can, a phone, etc) my hands shake enough for me to really notice. Also, I know I've mentioned before about typing. I type pretty fast, but when I lift my fingers from the keyboard, they kind of keep going. Same on the printing calculator. Do others experience this? Remedies?

    This sounds like intentional tremors, smalltowngirl. An article here from the NMSS explains it and what treatments there are in case it gets to be too troublesome for you. https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Sy...ymptoms/Tremor

    I always get tremors when I stand after sitting for awhile, but it doesn't last long and not bad enough to do anything about it. I just have to stand stationary for awhile before I start to walk.

      For me, it's using my computer mouse that can drive me crazy at times.

      My fingers will keep clicking on the mouse (when I don't want them to) at the most inopportune times!

      The only remedy is that I have to remove my hand from the mouse.

        That sounds like EXACTLY what I'm dealing with. Thank you! I never know what actually warrants a call to my neuro, but I do think I'm going to contact them about this. At my daughter's gymnastics class, I saw people looking at me when I was holding my cell phone up to take a picture. Made me feel weird-- and I know that's on me, not them. Maybe neuro will suggest something to help with it.

            These are the UNintentional tremors!
