It's horrible you had to go through that. I hope you have someone strong to help guide you through your recovery -- is there a good therapist you trust, or a family member who is strong enough to help?
About tremors: I thought I had MS/ALS due to muscular tremors ("fasciculations", in medical terms) all over, but predominantly on the left side. After a battery of tests it was determined -- happily -- that I had NO neurological disease, and that the tremors must be due to stress/depression/anxiety. The body can do strange things when under stress, apparently! It's entirely possible that your mind is working overtime and the stress is showing up in the physical symptoms of muscle twitches. I was prescribed an antidepressant which definitely helped. Is there any med that has helped you in the past?
I hope your tests come back negative for any neuro diseases...it's not "good" that the tremors are due to stress, but it's something fixable and that's positive news!
Keep us updated. Too bad you don't know anyone in the mob who owes you a favor...(i.e., taking care of the jerk...)
