I have had small fiber neuropathy for over 40 years now. Still functioning normally, but I have a lot of numbness everywhere. I get muscle cramps a lot in the evenings. But now I have very bad tremors. It started slowly and now my tremors are very bad. Hard to right something on paper or use my hands. I have not heard of this symptom for small fiber neuropathy yet. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi @kfrenc04, I haven't had the muscle cramps for quite awhile but have had them before, usually when I haven't drank enough water during the day. I too have some difficult trying to write due to some shakiness or tremors in the hands. I'm not sure if it has something to do with my neuropathy or just old age. I can still type pretty well but signing cards, writing checks or letters is the pits. There are quite a few discussions and comments by members on hand tremors. You might want to scan through the search results links while you wait for other members to share their experience - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=hand%20tremors.
