Tremors

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I am not sure about this baby in the tummy thing, guess I missed it! However

about Tremors, I too have tremors, they come on when I am fatigued, or have

overdone some form of work, such as house work! What I cannot understand for

the life of me my doctors tell me that with CMT1A, I should not have pain, my

pain keeps me home 90% of the time! That is with pain medication, neurontin,

amitripyline, oxycodone, and methadone. Is there something else wrong with

me? Has anyone else had pain like this? Thanks, see ya in the funnies! jr

Some CMTers have tremors, but many don't.

They are involuntary movements, such as a person with Parkinson's disease

has.

Some people may call them " the shakes. "

Hope this helps.

Hi Lori

I have much of the same as you and I am 47 was diagnosed after a fall at

work sent me into hospital for neck surgery and when my numbness never

went away and seemed to get much worse in a short time they decided to

do EMG and DNA testing.

Turned out to be CMT. This was 6 years ago. Since then many Family

members have also been diagnosed including my 7 yr. old Grandson. The

tremors in my hands or the " shakes " as I call them are bad at times of

stress it seems otherwise I have a slight case of the shakes and not as

noticable. We are all pretty much the same in many ways just some not

as severe as others.
