Hello,

I have been diagnosed with Adult-onset Still's disease.

My current medications are:

Methotrexate 15 mg once a week

Folic acid once a week (2 days after methotrexate)

Hydrocortisone 10 mg every morning

For more than a year, I have been experiencing tremors throughout my body. However, I notice them the most in my hands and in my smile. My hands almost always have a tremor, and even when I smile, my smile visibly shakes.

These tremors are present even when I am completely alone, relaxed, and not feeling anxious. They are not limited to stressful situations.

Stress does make them much worse. For example, about a week ago I had an interview for admission to a Master's program. During the interview, I felt like my whole body was shaking, and when I had to write my personal information on a piece of paper, my hands were trembling so badly that it was difficult to write.

I am becoming increasingly worried because I will soon start my Master's degree, and I am afraid these tremors will affect my studies, especially writing, presentations, and speaking in front of others.

Could this be related to Adult-onset Still's disease, my medications, an essential tremor, or another neurological condition? What tests or evaluations would you recommend?

Thank you for your time.
