The good news is that I had IVSM this past week, and the ON eye pain, blurriness and focusing problems are almost gone.

The bad news is that I've developed a tremor in my head, arms and hands, and now my legs. It's nearly impossible to control my hand movements now, and it's affecting my walking.

I was wondering if any of you who have this are on meds for it, and if you're having any good results with the meds. My doctor increased my Baclofen, in fact he doubled the dose yesterday to 20 mg three times a day. I'm also taking Klonopin, but at a low dose. I'm having bad muscle spasms at night, and my doctor said the increase in Baclofen may help control the spasms and the tremor.

The tremor is scaring me because of the fact that it has gotten so prominent.

Thanks for any help and information.

I don't know what to say about the tremors. I do hope they pass, or get under control to a point.

but wanted to give you great BIG HUGSSSS and hoping it all slows up for you soon....hugss,sarah

I posted this to three other MS forums, and someone on one of those told me about using weights. She has tremors so that it's hard to eat, and said she uses a certain kind of specially made weighted cutlery. I looked them up. The handles are weighted and some sort of rubberized material so that they can be gripped easier than regular silverware.

This person also said that she wears wrist and ankle weights a lot of the time, and that the weights help with her tremors. I found that suggestion also on the NMSS website.

I found all of these items on Amazon.com, and I'm going to make the order today. I'm going to order a weighted teaspoon, tablespoon, and fork. I'm ordering Bell Fitness 3-lb Soft Touch weights. They got the best reviews and seem easiest to put on and wear.

If these items will help in place of more meds, I'm sure willing to give them a try.

I have tremors from both the MS and essential tremors. I can't tell which is which but the neuro can during a neuro exam. The tremors vary throughout the day and from day to day.

I started taking Neurontin about 5 years ago for nerve pain. To my surprise, the Neurontin helped with the tremors as when I started taking it the tremors got so much better.
