Hi Shelley. Thank you for your message. You are completely correct. It was very odd to very naturally diagnose me with dystonic tremor and send me on my way. No MRI no blood tests. I went back to my GP yesterday and demanded an MRI. Only god knows when that will be offered to me.

kadelmaz,
With my own "just getting older problems" added to chronic pain from two recreational accidents, it's fair to say that I have become a whopping SOB patient ‼️It just dawned on me, who came up with the name of "patient " in the medical field??? Anyway, in my humble opinion, now is the time for you to get bitchy and hound your PCP for MRI and bloodwork. Dystonia , per your neurologist starts in the brain... the "wait and see " method for brain issues is far from acceptable. If you are a nice person who just doesn't get bitchy, then get an advocate, family member or friend to get bitch for you.
A thought: I have MCI, debilitating migraines etc, the MRIs I have had, depending on the technician and the radiologist that reads the imaging vary unbelievably greatly. I have learned that there is NO specific radiologist lingo, it's simply how "that" particular radiologist works...so huge discrepancies can exist for the same MRI. Good luck 👍 ShelleyW
