Hand tremors
When i was 6 or 7 yrs old (yr 97-98), i was diagnosed with GBS. I couldn't walk and sit, i used to feel the sensations though. My parents took me to vellore but it didn't help me,since there was not any ray of hope,my parents followed a local 'hakeem' of my city who was sure that he would make me walk again. I started taking his ayurvedic medicines and within 1 yr i was able to stand. I learnt standing and walking again. I am a fit and happy software engineer now but GBS affected me with foot drops and hand tremors which are visible till now. Foot drops aren't noticable untill and unless i am barefooted because i walk and run properly.But hand tremors are quite visible even when i shake hands with someone. Is there any medicine which can help me with the tremors ?

GBS is an immune mediated disorder which damages the peripheral nerves. Once the acute attack is over, the nerves repair themselves whether you take any treatment or not and irrespective of whatever treatment you may take. Being a software engineer yourself, you can easily check with the medical literature through the internet and learn more about your condition. However there may be some residual deficits like tremors as in your case. Before jumping into any treatment, my sincere advice would be for you undergo a detailed neurological evaluation and then get treated accordingly. Best regards.
