[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 215647, member: 1233"] While the keppra may be the cause, the neurologist didn't think so. It also could be the elavil they put her on to prevent the migraines. I think many medicines have some of these side effects listed. The ER doctor said it was more of a tremor, or trembling. WEll, the info on the wemove.org site actually had info on pediatric tremor! I am going to print it off, as well as info on the elavil (tricyclic AD's are a type of medication that can cause tremor according to the website) and keppra and take them to the doctor's office on Wednesday. Unless they can see me tomorrow, which is highly unlikely - one of the docs we see is double booked most of the day, and the other one we see isn't in until Wednesday. While there are other docs in the practice, and an excellent nurse practitioner, we have been working with these 2 docs on Jessie's back problems and migraines for quite a while. They work well together and don't blow her symptoms off as "hormonal" the way the male docs all do. The guys are OK for an infection, but they just don't cut it for other problems with girls. Our well is tested yearly, as are the other wells in our area. We have not shown any measurable levels of lead, or of other dangerous substances. But I will have the County Extension Office test it again. They work with the University and are very very good. I HATE all this. Kids are supposed to run, and play soccer, and gritch about homework and chores and siblings. NOT hurt and be afraid to hold a cup to drink from because they might spill it or walk with-o an arm to lean on because they feel like they are falling. I didn't get the entire picture from Jess until we were walking around the mall today. If she and I communicated better I would have seen ALL the symptoms, and the degree of them last week. That is frustrating also. She is just so good at hiding things that hurt. And that stinks too. Anyway, y'all have a good night, I will be on later in the am. Thanks so much! [/QUOTE]
