Hi dillpickle,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.
It must be very concerning for you but try not to think of conditions like ALS as your friend has suggested.
Do you have the tremors more when you're resting or when you're moving or are they there all the time?
Medications - have you checked in the side-effect profiles of any medications you have been taking?
There is a
Movement Disorders Forum
Including essential tremor, dystonia and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS).
