Tremors: Glad to hear your saw your doc and major pathology ruled out. Your history indicates that you are seeing a mental health pro. Ask him/her about clinical hypnosis (www.asch.net) or biofeedback training. Peace and good health.

If your tremors: are anxiety related being CONCERNED or ANXIOUS will obviously make the tremors worse..Since the common reasons for tremor are ruled out you should explore NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL (drug -free) methods to control your anxiety /tremors. BIOFEEDBACK, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, acupuncture, are a few examples. NOT TO WORRY! Hope this helps a bit! Dr Z
