I know that beta blockers can cause neuropathy (right Mrs D?) and I have small fiber neuropathy already, so I doubt I want to add that.

I found this video online, it's really close to what was going on with me:

Yesterday I had to check off numbers off a page and when I was holding the pen my hand shook horribly until I got it down onto the paper and concentrated on what I was doing. It's not as bad as this guy, but it's only been happening for a week.

I did take a Soma last night. I read some info online that stated docs like to give out Baclofen more than Soma, which is why I read about it on here more. It helped enough that my arm didn't hurt. The tremor didn't go away entirely. I suppose that it would be a good idea to go get a real prescrip to Baclofen now? Will my PCP prescribe that, or should I go to the pain doc?

Part of me wants to put up a stiff upper lip and just move on, part of me wants to hide in a hole and sleep for a year.
