HI I am a 34 wife with 2 children and a husband who is away alot. Lately I have been having problems with my left arm and hand. Especially when I sleep or at least try to I get the shakes in that hand. Sometimes erratic and sometimes a steady shake. I am not sleeping well and suffer on & off from bouts of extreme tiredness. With this I have been getting a little dizzy and confused for a moment or two during the day. I am sometimes finding it hard to get my balance and have fallen over a couple of times. When I am doing something I sometimes find myself stopping and starring at what might be the washing machine and trying to work out why I am there. Then it comes to me and I am fine. This is concerning me a little but have just put alot down to tireness. I have to write things down or I just don't remember at all. When I wake I am in alot of pain to just get out of bed. When I feel good I try to go for a bike ride and this just about kills me. I am exhausted and my balance I have to concentrate alot on. My joints in my left leg is feeling stiff sometimes. I hurts to bend and then I am finding it difficult getting up from the floor. I am only young and these symptoms are starting to concern me? Hope you can help as my closest doctor is over an hour away and I only go when have to. Is this all due to being tired?

Is the shaking occuring when the arm is at rest, or when you try to pick up a cup or open a door?

How is your diet?

What are your periods like regarding length, heaviness of bleeding and frequency?

Do you drink alcohol or take any medication?

When was the last time you saw a doctor?

Have you had any tests or investigations?

Mostly the shaking is when I am sleeping or at rest.
