Hi, im new here.
So i've had a smattering of symptoms along the years. I have a finger tremor (it's a postural tremor) that i've had for 7-8 years and it's not really gotten worse or better. I finally saw a Neuro and was diagnosed with Essential tremor (which matches).
it's not gotten any worse but it's basically constant. HOWEVER I basically worry about MS and Parkinson's non stop.
Especially here lately, because I feel like im "unsteady" sometimes. Thing is......i don't actually trip/fall/etc.. into anything, I guess I can describe it best as the "feeling" of dizziness....but not actually apparently being dizzy?. Also I feel like I have to search for words a lot. Which makes me anxious when I can't think of the word (which makes it worse). I often feel like im the only one this happens too...like my brain works too fast for what im saying? But it happens to my wife too which is comforting (I guess that happens to everyone every day).
Anyways this dizziness...it's weird because if im focusing on it and my walking I feel unsteady, like my head is sloshing. Im not falling over/experiencing any weakness or anything.....but especially when I turn my head suddenly or something, it feels dizzy for a second. Which makes me worry about MS or parkinson's.
Honestly i've probably "felt" this way for the past couple of years and I can't tell if it's anxiety or what. I'll also feel randomly tired...but then super energized but I think that may be anxiety/depression related.
Any ideas? I feel like if it was MS/Parkinson's i'd have more symptoms (BTW im 31 so parkinson's would be EXTREMELY rare). But I DO work on a computer a lot so I do have a stiff neck and i've heard stiff neck can make you feel dizzy. I think i get really stiff fingers too (Which i've been feeling) but that's maybe RSI (repetitive strain injury) from so much typing and def. poor posture.
I think I just need some reassurance, for some reason my worries have been driving me crazy!
