PN and trembling/ hands shaking
Hi …I've had PN for 9 years. I’ve noticed as it progressed that I have trembling shaky hands and even arms a bit. I also seem to get nervous easier …with anxiety. Does anyone else experience this with their progressing PN? Have the DRS done anything for you? Txs

@stallen, I experience some tremors/shaking in my hands at different times during the day if I'm trying to be careful using a mouse on the computer. I'm pretty sure it's related to my neuropathy. It hasn't gotten to bad so far and I'm hoping it doesn't. There are quite a few members who have mentioned shaking hands in other discussions if you want to scan through the comments while you wait for others to respond - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/comments/.

1 ReactionMy hands have started shaking recently and I am also nervous, which I wasn't before the peripheral neuropathy.

2 ReactionsI've been dealing with neuropathy for over a decade now, and the title of this thread made me stop and take a look at my situation. I started building model cars again for the first time since 1980 last June, and it made me realize that I'm having issues with my hands as well. Sometimes when I'm trying to glue together some smaller pieces I have a hard time keeping my hands still.
Occasionally they'll shake so hard that even the simplest things are nearly impossible for me to do. I also have a habit of dropping things, especially small items or parts, and my fingers are numb a lot of the time. At first I thought it might be because of a carpal tunnel procedure on my right hand that failed. My thumb and index finger were still numb months after the surgery, and a second procedure on that hand didn't fix anything, so they've been numb for well over a decade now. But the fingers on both hands are numb most of the time.
Is it because of the neuropathy, I don't know.
