Hello-
I have been around this forum for a while now (over a year). I recently had an EMG at OSU by a neuromuscular specialist and it was clean except for a few faciculations detected in my legs.
My latest symptoms are very alarming to me and I need input & feedback
1. When I lay my hand flat in a desk (palm down) then raise just my hand (like when using the mouse on a computer) and hold that position for maybe 10 seconds, my hand shakes really bad. Not like a little tremor, but a large up and down shake that gets worse the longer I hold it until it looks like I have maybe Parkinson’s. I cant stop it no matter how hard I concentrate. My fear is that this is wrist drop BUT how could I possibly have any type of weakness and have a clean EMG (3rd clean in a year)? Input please?
2. I have bouts where my body "shivers" where I am not cold at all in fact I am 100% comfortable as far as temp is concerned. It feels like it is originating from my back and neck area. It happens when I am sitting, laying down, especially if I lay on my sides. What in the world is going on? I couldn’t even find anything about this on the internet.
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Does this point to any particular disease, is it a clue?
Thanks
