I have full blown tremors now. They started at the beginning of last week and now my hand shakes just about every time I'm holding something up or when it's in certain positons. I believe it's an intention tremor.

I had to stop taking Mirapex, which *is* a parkinson's drug, but I took it for my periodic leg movement disorder. I stopped taking this over two weeks ago due to a severe rash. I took Prednisone to help with the rash, and you know what, I've actually been all spry and able to get things done. It wasn't a high dose, but it felt good. Started with only 40mg for three days and tirated down 10mg/every three days. I'm on my last single 10mg today. I read that the prednisone can cause tremors, but it seems like in higher, longer doses.

I'm in Neuro limbo land as mine retired and I'm waiting for my appt in Sept at UCSF. I need to call my regular doc and see him (also relating to the rash). Can he just order the evoked visual tests and/or lumbar?

I kind of feel like this is the last point for me. There is something horrible going on and I just need an answer. If it's not MS, what else can produce tremors, that go along with the other symptoms I've gotten (PN, some speech issues, etc etc).
