Shaking Hands and Feet
by: Betty C on Thu, Jul 09 2009

My granddaughter has developed this movement disorder that the doctor has been unable to diagnose up to this point. Her hands and sometimes one of her feet will just start shaking violently. It only last for a minute or two. At first it was only randomly happening. Dr put her on neurontin but the shaking has become increaseingly worse in the last 2 weeks. She is probably going to get a second opinion after dr’s appt tomorrow.

My husband has a dystonia problem in 2000. He has spasmodic torticollis. I am wondering if this could be something hereditary. Can’t seem to find these symptoms in dystonia world.

If anyone out there has ever heard of this, I would appreciate an answer back to me. Betty –Tennessee
