What causes tremor?

Tremor is generally caused by problems in parts of the brain that control muscles throughout the body or in particular areas, such as the hands. Neurological disorders or conditions that can produce tremor include multiple sclerosis, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases that damage or destroy parts of the brainstem or the cerebellum. Other causes include the use of some drugs (such as amphetamines, corticosteroids, and drugs used for certain psychiatric disorders), alcohol abuse or withdrawal, mercury poisoning, overactive thyroid, or liver failure. Some forms of tremor are inherited and run in families, while others have no known cause.

Comment from: angela, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: May 01

I was diagnosed with orthostatic tremor last year. My tremor does not go away when I sit down. It has now spread to my right arm. I have asked to be referred to see a top neurosurgeon, as the doctors here don't seem to know what to do with me. I was basically told by the neuro at the hospital that it is a rare brain disorder with no cure and that he does not know much about it. Lovely! Right now, I take nine gabapentin, eight tramadol, and four paracetamol pills daily to help with the pain. I found that gabapentin takes the edge off the pain really well and helps to keep the burning pain away. Clonazapam just doped me.

I just noticed that my entire body trembles, especially when I'm at rest. It's making me distraught. I would like to know if there are solutions to this problem.
