Just my advice, if you are reading about neurological diseases on the Internet, you will the symptoms.  I know somone close to me exactly like you.  To be on the safe side, go to a neurologist.\nOnce you've been diagnosed, believe your Doctor, if nothing is wrong with you, and I hope that's the case, again, believe in your Doctor. \nBye.

I am not a doctor, but know somebody with lung cancer, he told me that before being diagnosed: he noticed how one of his eyes seemed lower than the other, constipation, hoarseness, and sweating at night on one side of his back only.\nThe best to do, will be to go see a Doctor, good luck.

I too have this condition, along with my older brother, a son, a nephew , and my now deceased father .   All you may want to know about your condition can be found in the current issue of Consumer Reports issue of "onHealth" Volume18 Number 1 - page11. Learn to live with it as all of us have done except for my father.  Physicians did horrible things to him in search of a cure and he shook till he died at 80.

Thanks for asking this great question. \n\nAs you study the different ways this disorder can present, you'll get to know the signs.  As society becomes more aware of this disorder, the information will become more available and reliable.\n \nAs a pediatrician, you will need to know when to refer a child to a Pediatric Neurologist for diagnosis and treatment.  Our first Pediatrician missed it altogether.  She did not take me seriously when I told her that my son was having involuntary muscle spasms!  We switched pediatricians and started over.    \n\nAfter explaining to the new pediatrician what was happening, and before our visit to the Pediatric Neurologist, we decided to video tape our sons tics and vocal tremors, as we were not sure if they would present at the prescribed day and time of the appointment.  This information was invaluable for the diagnosis.\n\nIf in your career you suspect that a child may have this, you might suggest that they tape their child at home and bring it to the Pediatric Neurologist that you refer them to.  I hope this answer helps.  See also my answer to a similar question:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Au6ndYsRC9yFaaunMuIOHcAjzKIX?qid=1006030207422

A fasciculation (or "muscle twitching") is a small, local, involuntary muscle contraction (twitching) visible under the skin arising from the spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibres. Fasciculations have a variety of cause, the majority of which are benign.\n\nConditions\nThe most common cause of persistent fasciculations is benign fasciculation syndrome. \nWerdnig-Hoffman disease \npoisoning by organophosphates \n\nMedications\nOther risk factors may include the use of anticholinergic drugs over long periods—in particular, ethanolamines such as Benadryl, used as an antihistamine and sleep aid, and Dramamine for nausea and motion sickness. Persons with BFS may experience paraesthesia shortly after taking such medication, then hours later as it wears off (especially upon awaking), fasciculation episodes begin.\n\nStimulants can cause fasciculations directly. These include caffeine, pseudoephedrine (Sudafed®), and albuterol/salbutamol (Proventil®, Combivent®, Ventolin®). Medications used to treat attention deficit disorder often contain stimulants as well, and are common causes of benign fasciculations.\n\nTreatment\nInadequate magnesium intake can cause fasciculations, especially after a magnesium loss due to severe diarrhea. Over-exertion is another risk factor for magnesium loss. As many as 80% of the population does not get the recommended daily amount of magnesium; this may be a common cause. Treatment is with supplements or increased intake of foods rich in magnesium, especially almonds and other nuts, and bananas. Ironically, magnesium supplements may result in diarrhea and more magnesium loss.\n\n---------\n\nOccasionally, your eyelid may twitch at random. This involuntary twitching of the eyelid muscle usually lasts less than a minute. But it can be bothersome. The cause of eyelid twitching isn't known. However, it's often associated with fatigue and stress. You may be able to relieve the twitching by gently massaging the affected eyelid.\n\nAn eyelid twitch is usually harmless. Rarely, a twitching eyelid can be a symptom of a muscle or nerve disease. But if that is the case, it's usually accompanied by other symptoms.

Well I think it definitly could be Essential Tremors, it runs in a family and it is movement disorder. Essential tremor is caused by abnormalities in areas of the brain that control movement and does not occur as the result of disease.  Tremor is involuntary trembling in part of the body. Essential tremor is associated with purposeful movement (e.g., holding a glass to drink, shaving, writing, buttoning a shirt). It occurs most often in the hands and head and also may affect the arms, voice box (larynx), trunk, and legs. \nDifference between Parkinson's and Essential Tremors is that in Parkinson's tremors appear during the rest and disapear when person move, with Essential Tremors it's affected always, sometimes even more when person is trying to do some exact thing. \nIt can appear at any age. For some people, essential tremor may be distressing but not debilitating. Others may find that their tremors make it difficult to work, perform everyday tasks that require fine-motor skills or do the things they enjoy.\nSymptoms may remain mild or increase in severity over time. Stress, fatigue, anxiety, and hot or cold weather can worsen the disorder. Severe tremor may cause difficulty performing activities of daily living, such as: \n\nBrushing hair and teeth \nHolding a glass without spilling \nPerforming self-care (e.g., getting dressed, shaving, putting on makeup) \nUsing eating utensils \nWriting and drawing \n\nTo put diagnoses it is required to:\nDiagnosis of essential tremor is based on the observation of symptoms, a thorough medical history, physical examination, and neurological examination. Performance tests, such as asking the patient to write, draw, hold an object, or drink from a glass, help the physician evaluate the tremor. \n\nI hope this answers your question!

I suggest you see a health care specialist. it sounds like you might have something more serious. my mom went through some symptoms like that when she had fibro mengia. which is fatigue, massive times of urinating and pain or dizziness and the blahs. or it could be something as easy as like when i had mono (the kissing disease) i didn't feel like eating all my body wanted was sleep and i couldn't stop myself from falling asleep at weird times and places. but since i am not a doctor it could be something else completely. just go get checked out! wish you all the best!

Well, it could be MS, but I think she should also be tested for Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome and APS can mimic MS symptoms.\n\nI will give you some links so you can compare the two.  Email me if you have more questions.
