Did it start with the Risperdal?
Does it run in your family?
My mother has familial tremor. Almost exactly half of the siblings has it, which would be expected since it's dominant. My grandma had it too, I think. My two uncles got it when they were quite young, but it wasn't a problem for my mother until well in her fifties. I guess I've got a fifty percent chance.
I think any new physical thing should be reported to your doctor. If you need to, write it down right now and put it in your purse or tie a string around your finger at your next appointment.
But it's highly unlikely you're dying.
