Default Tremor-like activity, what is it??

Hello,
I have an unknown neurodegenerative disorder which is being called "Spinocerebellar Ataxia, type unknown" for now (another story). Anyway, I have lots and lots of medical questions, but here is the latest and I'm hoping that someone(s) here has some words of wisdom/ideas to share.

I experience non-stop tremor-like activity in my thighs -- only when I am being examined by a physician or when I am talking about my family's disorder. It's very visible and my episodes subside within 15 minutes or so afterwards.

And so common sensically, physical Ataxia work is obviously a major stressor for me to avoid if at all possible, right? (Hmmm, I'm totally fine when I write about Ataxia, I just can't get examined or talk about it without having my thighs go into paroxysms...Oh, and my voice gets real shaky, too.

What's happening here? The tremor-like activity occurs while I'm at rest (physically, anyway). Is it Parkisonism, perhaps?

Thanks so much for any thoughts.
