Many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have some form of tremor, or shaking they can’t control, in different parts of their bodies.
There are several types:
- Postural tremors. You shake when you sit or stand, but not when you lie down.
- Intention tremor. There’s no shaking when you’re at rest. It starts when you try to reach or grasp something or move your hand or foot to a precise spot. This is the most common form of MS tremor, and it usually causes the most problems in day-to-day life.
- Nystagmus. This type causes jumpy eye movements.
What Causes Tremors in Multiple Sclerosis?
Tremors happen because of damage to nerves that control body movement.
