For the last 3-4 months, my fingers have been quivering side to side when I hold out my hands and extend them. It started with just one finger occasionally and now it's all of them. The quivering gets worse when I exert my hands, e.g. write or type, make fist, etc. There's also some small worm-like fasciculations of the hand muscles. I also now have small marks on my thenar eminences, which I haven't seen before and worry are signs of atrophy. This accompanied with some difficulty lifting things that used to be fairly easy, like gallons of water. Possibly just perceived weakness though; saw a neurologist who did a standard battery of tests and said everything looked fine (don't think he took a good look at my hands at all though).
I'm very anxious about this, which is sure to be a confounding factor, but I don't think the fingers quivering are from anxiety: it happens all the time. Anything anyone could say would be appreciated.
