Hello there, I'm 23 years old and I have tremors on my left arm, hand and leg. I was diagnosed with neurological problems in 2012 and have lost my hearing then last year 2014. I also have tinnitus. Is this tremor permanent or just temporary? I'm really suffering.

Hi 

really get it investigated and get second and third opinions..

my father in law had hand tremors and speech problems they diagnosed him with Parkinsons put him on all the meds the tremors stopped  ...2 years later a new specialist said lets do another brain scan said you don't have Parkinsons you've had strokes which left you with the tremor, came off meds no tremor ...because you do recover slowly from stroke damage ...

ok, thank you. but the doctor I was at said that tremors can't be treated, I'm not sure now if this is true for all the tremors or just some.

That is good to hear that his tremors were treated and gone. I wonder if mine will go too. Right now I'm really suffering, I can not do some of the works and I can't sleep well. I think that I should go see another doctor.

Tremors can be treated, I take clonazepam and propranolol for my tremor which is caused by dystonia another neuro condition. Ask to be referred to a neurologist that specialises in movement disorders. Good luck

Hello Anah,

I think you really should see a second doc to diagnose your disease. There's a chance for every doc to have the wrong diagnosis.

When you know for certain which disease you are having, then you can deal with it with proper treatment. Your current doc said tremor cannot be treated, you have to know why. It really matters what caused your tremor, then we can say it's treatable or not.

Best of luck.

My condition is lifelong and incurable but the medication lessens the symptoms. I will be taking the medication for the rest of my life, my tremors are now manageable. Just what the Neurologist treats your tremor with will depend on what's causing it. That is why it's vital that you are referred by your GP to be seen by a specialist in movement disorders,

kind regards
