Your other symptoms sound a lot like restless leg syndrome. Oh, and it can also be in arms and hands, on one side but both is more common. And, I just saw a study that found a possible association with essential tremor.
And a new theory emerges.
What if as you are waking up feeling the desire to move do the the RLS, and as you start to move, you feel the tremor. When I started to get a tremor I first noticed it as I was waking up and using my left arm to adjust the covers. This was long before I noticed it in regular awake hours. This may not fit you, but I wanted to give you another possibility other than Parkinson's.
What do your doctors say about you possibly having Parkinson's?
(The more I look at this stuff the more it seems I might have Parkinson's. Too many symptoms in that list, and some of them are common to many other processes other than Parkinson's.)

I pray it is not Parkinsons.......it is a tough disease, a lot more to it than shaking.
