@basketcase l was reading up one day on tremors and there's alot of illness with tremors. I notice it has to do with the brain. I also have tremors but only when my ammonia levels are elevated. People with seizures, MS, dementia, strokes and it goes on and on. I know when l was going to school for occupational therapy they said you have to have something weigh bearing to keep it from tremoring but you need to talk to your doctor. He might refer you to occupational therapy they have adaptive equipment to help with the tremors because it can be annoying. When my started and l go to the hospital with slurred speech they think l am having a stroke and it's only my ammonia levels
So you see it can be hard to pinpoint the illness and why it's happening. So see if you can get some therapy
Good luck

Hi @basketcase. I have never heard of elevated ammonia levels and hand tremors. This is another dystonia disease. It mainly effects northern europeans. Blacks and Hispanics don't get this disease unless it's trauma related. It's originates in the brain, maybe the basal ganglia. Not sure. Stress may aggravate it. I had hand tremors for a while but mine spread to my neck and oral mandibular area. Not a nice disease. It's prevelant in Swiss Germans which I am. My mother was too. Not my Dad. But it only takes one parent to inherent this monster. The Amish and Pennsyvania Dutch have it really bad. Keep us informed.
