Neurologist

I saw a neurologist in Windsor. He had me walk and point, etc. He didn't think that I have Parkinsons' (which is what I was worrying it was), since my symptoms were not consistent with it.

Parkinsons' patients have a tremor at rest. He described mine as an intentional tremor, I shake when I'm trying to do something requiring fine motor skills.

He sent me for a CT scan, just to start the diagnosis.

The following weekend, I was talking with my parents who mentioned my uncle also shakes.

Finally went to the doctor

Can't remember exactly when, but I decided to go to the doctor. He actually took it more seriously than I had, and sent me to see a neurologist as soon as possible.

First Signs

I can't pinpoint a specific date that I first noticed any symptoms. I bought the Sunfire in the fall of 2007, and it was gone by February 2008. I think I first noticed the shaking in my lower leg while driving the Sunfire. It was just in my leg, and I only noticed while driving. I started to rest my leg against the console to keep it from shaking.
The shaking would come and go without warning.
