RA and Tremors?

Hi everyone.

I'm a 40-something person with RA. Recently, my hands have started shaking. It happens in the mornings and late afternoons, sometimes into the evenings.

OMG - it's so annoying to feel shakey!

I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with essential tremors.

I've been reading variety of things about essential tremors, and I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with it in conjunction with RA meds or in general?

Any suggestions, tips, advice?

Thank you so very much!


  1. I am sorry I do not have good advice except to say I would call my rheumatologist or neurologist. I did a quick look at academic papers involving tremors and RA. I did find one published in 2006 which is old. I am sure there is much updated information in other papers.


    Here is the link I found.
