Just came back from my PCP. He confirmed it's intention tremors. Thought maybe it was the prednisone I just stopped (but I don't think so). He is prescribing me the propranolol, starting with a lower dose and going up if I need it.

I described to him the right arm issues I've had over the last few months, including dropping things and median nerve issues, a negative EMG. He knows I'm really worried about the MS, but wants to explore more before giving me IVSM. He was like "that's a LOT of medicine". Um, yeah, I just want to feel better. I need to work, be able to use a knife, etc. He was a little upset that my new neuro candidate is taking so long to "review" my files to accept me as a patient.

At least he didn't say to stop reading things on the internet. He said to email him if I needed to, which is good.
