How do you manage this leg shaking symptom?

Do you take methylphenidate for ADHD? My teen son also takes this for ADHD but doesn’t get the shaking (does have other side effects). What dosage are you on?

It is good for you to see a neurologist. Have you had your primary doctor do any bloodwork recently and have you talked about this with them? How is your thyroid? How are your vitamin B12, vitamin D and iron levels?

Due to the stress you are under, it sounds like stress is affecting your health and nervous system. Do you have anxiety/depression? Do you take any other medications? My son has significant anxiety and this is common with ADHD.

If you don’t have a psychologist, and psychiatrist, you would benefit from the extra mental health support during this important time in your life.

How is your diet, sleep? It is important you get exercise for good circulation.

I do take it for ADHD and I hope to get a neuro consultation soon. Unfortunately I dont think I will be until a couple months due to availabilities.
My thyrioid and vitamin D are good but not sure of B12. I am also anemic. I will definetly be taking b12 now
