Let me start by saying that I know ALS causes weakness, atrophy, etc and that tremors alone are not indicative, but, are tremors a inclusive sign as well or not?I havent found a whole lot on tremors equating to ALS. Parkinsons, or MS? Yes, but it seems the people that do have ALS and admit to a shake is actually clonus..which I dont have.
What I DO have is a essential like tremor in my hands, particularly my left hand (dominant) when I am working on craft projects. Atm, I am making a brooch bouquet and making ribbon flowers. I notice that when I am placing smaller brooches, a lot of times I will fumble or they will slip out of my hands. The fabric flowers I have a issue with when I place tiny ... 1/4 inch beads in specific spots...and being able to put a dab of hot glue on the back of the bead without burning my finger. Also, pulling the trigger on the hot glue gun and angling it makes my hand shake a bit as well.
Realize these tremors are relatively mild, but annoying. I am not sure if it is generally normal to have tremors doing the small intricacies I do since everyones hands shake to a certain degree.
And yes, I had been to a Neuro a month a go, this was prior to the shakes but during a bout of fasciculations that went away. My strength and reflexes were all normal.
Any answers are appreciated..
