Anyone have a tremor?
 

I was just curious if anyone else had a tremor. I have a tremor in my hands that comes and goes. I cant remember when it came on, but started to notice it about a month after my accident. This is also when i was started on Celexa and nortriptyline and not sure if this is a side effect of the medications or part of my PCS. My doctors think it is a side effect of the meds. I'm a little worried about it since i go back to work in 2 weeks as an ICU nurse and worried about inserting IVs or giving subcutaneous injections. And also really hoping that my patients and my coworkers dont notice it!

I have tremors from time to time but they are usually related to stress. It can be external emotional stress like conflict or it can be physical stress like when trying to complete a manual task.

If I work at relaxing, I can cause it to go away faster.

I experience the same as Mark. If I concentrate on relaxing, it goes away. I've dropped a few cups of my morning coffee because of it :(

Yes. When I'm stressed out or feeling like I'm being rushed . I also stuter worse at that point.an some brain fog .also I take 0 medication other than tylenol . It's pcs to me.

dont know the difference
 

i had a major ruptured brain aneurysm is that concidered traumatic brain injury? but to answer the question yes i have tremmors stress starts them in my hands and phyisical exertion like too much walking gets them going in legs arms ect. till i get to what my S.O. calls break danceing without music.

Red733, Yes, the aneurysm you had would be a considered a traumatic brain inury. There are basically two kinds of TBIs...External and Internal, yours being caused by an event inside the brain (stroke, aneurysm and such). External brain injuries are caused by a direct impact or by acceleration force to the head from such as falling and hitting your head, auto accident, being hit in the head, whip-lash, impact blasts, etc...

Regardless of how we come to have a TBI, we share many common symptoms and distractions.

Although, I haven't had the ability to break-dance :Dancing-Chilli: YET!!! :ROTFLMAO:

I do notice that they come on more if Im anxious or in a social situation or stressed about something. Also when i get my dizzy episodes, they always come on. Glad to know others have similar issues so that i know its most likely the PCS as opposed to the meds. The meds work good for my headache symptoms so i dont want the tremor to be the reason i stop taking them. Thanks to all of you for your responses!

I'm not sure if what I experienced was a tremor, but I woke up in the middle of my sleep last night and I noticed my legs were vibrating like crazy, like if there was a construction site going on under my floor (which I can tell you there wasn't)

In the very beginning of my concussion I would shake like crazy after stress. Like I was out in the winter without a coat. I could not stop shaking and it would last a good ten minutes.

I've noticed this doing physical tasks. I used to have rock solid hands and grip, and since being assaulted I've noticed my hands shake when doing even the simplest things, like drinking from a cup.
